Passage I
The following E2 is carried out with different halogen substituent:
From the percentage yield of two products observed with different leaving group, it was concluded that both ease of leaving group and steric hindrance to the approach of base CH3O- to β-H affect the orientation of elimination reaction.
Q.
Based to the above observation, which flask will have the largest amount of 1-hexene?
Maximum elimination products would be formed in flask 1 and minimum elimination products would be formed in flask 4. Hence, even the 19% of total products in flask 1 would be much greater than 70% of total products in flask 4.

Q.
Match the reaction from Column I with the type of m echanism from Column II and mark the correct option from the codes given below.
(i) Given halide is a primary, predominantly undergo SN2 reaction.
(ii) Given halide is secondary, can undergo SN2 reaction. Also, E2 reaction leads to a conjugated system. Also it may react by E1 cb mechanism because it forms resonance stabilised carbanion.
(iii) It is a 3° halide and in the presence of weak base H2O, weak nucleophile H2O , it may undergo unimolecular substitution (SN1) and elimination (E1) reaction.
(iv) It may form a stable benzylic carbocation after hydride shift, hence may react by SN1 mechanism. Also it is a secondary halide, may undergo SN2 reaction. It may also react by E2 reaction ai it gives conjugated system. Carbanion. formed at β-C will be stabilised by resonance from ring, hence may undergo E1 cb mechanism.
