Question

Most reactive alkyl chloride for E1 reaction among the given compounds are
8

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (D).

Explanation:

• The E1 reaction involves two steps.
• Step 1 involves breaking up into a carbocation.
• The base will attack the proton in step 2, and proton abstraction will occur.
• The rate-determining step is the reaction's slowest step.
• The slowest process in E1 is the creation of the carbocation. Therefore, it is the step that determines rate.
• As a result, the rate at which the carbocation is formed determines the rate of the reaction. Since stable carbocations are simple to create, the rate of the E1 reaction is dependent on how stable the formed carbocation is.
• As, in the last option, two alkyl groups are present it will form a more stable carbocation.
