Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 11

Consider the following reaction,

Q. 

The correct statement regarding the above reaction is

Detailed Solution for Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 11

Reaction proceed by E2 mechanism, hence there would be only one transition state in the activation energy diagram. Moreover, since very bulky base (tertiary butoxide) is being used, least substituted alkene, 1-butene in the present case, would be formed as the major product.

Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 12

Consider the following reaction,

Q. 

The correct statement concerning the above reaction is

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 13

Consider the following reaction,

Q. 

The correct statement concerning the above reaction is

Detailed Solution for Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 13

The reagent C2h5ONa C2H5OH does elimination.

HBr is removed and a double bond is formed. For maximum stability of current compound Trans isomer is formed.

If the current compound gives trnas isomer then its diastereomer would give cis isomer.

Hence B and C are correct.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 14

In the reaction the given below, 

Q. 

The correct statement(s) concerning the above reaction is/are

Detailed Solution for Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 14

With ethoxide base, most substituted alkene (I) is formed as the major product. In the formation of (ll),C2H5O- takes proton from less hindered β-carbon, hence less activation energy and greater rate of reaction although stability of product determines it content at equilibrium. Also,since E2 reaction is an elementary reaction in which halogen leaves in the rate determining step, iodide leaves most easily and fluoride with maximum difficulty.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: E2 Reaction Basics - Question 15

Consider the following two reactions,

Passage I

An alkyl halide X shows diastereomerism but cannot be resolved into enantiomers. X when treated with KOH solution gives alkene as well as alcohol in comparable amounts by E2 and SN2 reactions respectively. Also, E2 reaction above gives alkene Y as single structural isomer which exists as stereoisomers. The SN2 reaction above produced alcohol Z which show stereoisomerism but cannot be resolved into enantiomers.

Passage II

In an E2 reaction, following one step mechanism is involved.

As shown in the above mechanism, a β-proton anti to leaving group is abstracted by the alkoxide base. If a less bulky base is used, β-proton is eliminated giving most substituted, most stable product as the major product. On the otherhand if a bulky base is used, β-proton is abstracted from β-carbon where there is least steric hindrance and this gives least substituted, although least stable, alkene as the major product.
