Problem 23P
Why do the SN1/E1 reactions of tertiary alkyl halides favor the substitution product?
ANSWER:
Solution 23P
Step 1 of 3
Elimination reactions are a class of organic reactions in which two substituents are removed from a molecule. This removal can be a reaction with one step mechanism or a reaction with two step mechanism. The one step reaction is called E2 reaction and two steps reaction is called E1 reaction. The kinetics of the reaction is unimolecular in case of E1 reaction bimolecular in E2 reaction.
Substitution reactions are the organic reactions in which a substituent in a molecule is replaced by another substituent. This reaction can proceed with one step mechanism or a reaction with two step mechanism. The one step reaction is called and two steps reaction is called. The kinetics of the reaction is unimolecular in case of bimolecular in.
