What is Elimination Reactions: E1 vs E2 Mechanisms about?
The chapter discusses elimination reactions where groups are eliminated from reactants to form new π bonds between carbons. There are two main mechanisms - E1 and E2. In E1, the leaving group breaks away first in a single step to form a carbocation intermediate. In E2, all bonds break and form simultaneously in a concerted reaction without intermediates. E2 reactions are favored by strong bases and form more substituted alkene products, following Zaitsev
