This question comes from a students practice exam where over 100 students failed to get full credit. Reaction mechanism occurs in several steps, the ratedetermining step is the unimolecular ionization of the. Rate depends upon the concentration of the alkyl halide and the base. When a building is designed and built in line with e2as1, it is deemed. Recall that s n 2 reactions compete with e2 reactions. Unfavorable reaction start under conditions that favor a unimolecular reaction weak nucbase and polar protic solvent, mixtures of s n1 and e1 are usually obtained. This video provides a step by step walk through of a difficult sn1 sn2 e1 e2 mechanism when given a product.

First of all, an elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one or twostep mechanism the onestep mechanism is known as the e2 reaction. Substitution and elimination reactions l nucleophilic substitution reactions sn2 reaction. This implies that the rate determining step of the mechanism depends on the decomposition of a single molecular species. This implies that the rate determining step involves an interaction between these two species, the base b, and the organic substrate, rlg. The numbers do not have to do with the number of steps in the mechanism, but rather the kinetics of the reaction. E2 mechanism bimolecular elimination e1 mechanism unimolecular elimination the e2 and e1 mechanisms differ in the timing of bond cleavage and bond formation, analogous to the s n 2and s n 1.
