Question

Explain β-elimination reaction.

Answer 1

involves the formation of a π bond and an M–H bond. Metal alkyls that contain β-hydrogens experience rapid elimination of these hydrogens, provided a few other conditions are met.

Answer 2

it is a reaction in which an alkyn group bounded to a metal centre is converted into corresponding metal bonded hydride and an alkene the alkene must have hydrogens on the b carbon for instance butyl groups can under go this reaction but methyl groups cannot
