It involves a carbocation intermediate
It is a unimolecular reaction
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following statements is true regarding the E2 mechanism?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that E2 is a type of elimination reaction in organic chemistry.
Step 2: Know that in an E2 reaction, a strong base is needed to remove a hydrogen atom (proton) from the molecule.
Step 3: Recognize that while the base removes the proton, the leaving group (like a halide) simultaneously departs from the molecule.
Step 4: Remember that this process happens in one single step, which is why it is called 'concerted'.
