Q
Q: Which of the following statements about the E1 elimination mechanism is true?
Solution:
E1 elimination involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate, making it a two-step process.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that E1 elimination is a type of chemical reaction.
Step 2: Know that E1 stands for 'unimolecular elimination'.
Step 3: Recognize that E1 elimination happens in two main steps.
Step 4: In the first step, a leaving group (like a halide) departs from the molecule, creating a carbocation (a positively charged carbon atom).
Step 5: In the second step, a base removes a proton (H) from a neighboring carbon, leading to the formation of a double bond.
Step 6: Conclude that the formation of the carbocation intermediate is what makes E1 a two-step process.
