E1 Flashcards
1
Q
base reacts with which H
A
the one that will give the most substituted alkene.
any H
2
Q
stable CC+
A
most substituted
due to inductive effect
sharing/donating electron density
to stabilise the CC+ ( reducing its energy - lowering the Ea of the reaction)
3
Q
major E1 product
A
E alkene ( transition state leading to E alkene is lower in energy aka more stable and therefore reacts faster)
more substituted alkene
4
Q
when looking for E and Z look at
A
newman projections.
try see if the 2 largest groups are antiperiplanar (E conformation)
5
Q
E1 solvent CC+
A
polar protic 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
6
Q
E2 solvent
A
less polar APROTIC
no nh oh
