Question: Which of the following statements about the E2 elimination mechanism is true?

Options:

  1. It involves a carbocation intermediate.
  2. It requires a strong base.
  3. It is a unimolecular process.
  4. It occurs in a stepwise manner.

Correct Answer: It requires a strong base.

Solution: 

E2 elimination requires a strong base to abstract a proton while the leaving group departs, and it occurs in a single concerted step.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about the E2 elimination mechanism is true?
  • Step 1: Understand that E2 elimination is a type of chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Know that in E2, a strong base is needed to remove a hydrogen atom (proton) from the molecule.
  • Step 3: Recognize that while the base removes the proton, a leaving group (like a halide) is also leaving the molecule.
  • Step 4: Realize that this process happens in one single step, meaning both actions occur at the same time without any intermediate stages.
