Stereochemistry of reactantsStereochemistry of reactants
• E2 reactions must go by an anti elimination
• This means that the hydrogen atom and halogen atom must be 180o (coplanar) with respect to each other!!
• Draw a Newman projection formula and place the H and X on opposite sides.

RuleRule• In reactions of removal of hydrogen halides from alkyl halides or the removal of water from alcohols, the hydrogen which is lost will come from the more highly-branched -carbon.

Orientation of elimination: Orientation of elimination: regiochemistry/ Zaitsev’s regiochemistry/ Zaitsev’s
RuleRule
Explaination of Zaitsev’s rule:
When you remove a hydrogen atom from the more branched position, you are forming a more highly substituted alkene.

Stereochemistry of productsStereochemistry of products
• The H and X must be anti with respect to each other in an E2 reaction!
• You take what you get, especially with diastereomers! See the previous slides of the reaction of diastereomers.

E1 Reactions E1 Reactions
• These reactions proceed under neutral conditions where a polar solvent helps to stabilize the carbocation intermediate.
• This solvent also acts as a weak base and removes a proton in the fast step.
• These types of reactions are referred to as solvolysis reactions.
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
• tertiary substrates go by E1 in polar solvents, with little or no base present!
• typical polar solvents are water, ethanol, methanol and acetic acid
• These polar solvents help stabilize carbocations
• E1 reactions also occur in a low concentration of base (i.e. 0.01M NaOH).
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
•With strong base (i.e. >1M), goes by E2

Carbocation stability orderCarbocation stability order
Tertiary (3o) > secondary (2o) > primary (1o)
It is hard (but not impossible) to get primary compounds to go by E1. The reason for this is that primary carbocations are not stable!
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
Kinetics of an E1 reactionKinetics of an E1 reaction
• E1 reactions follow first order (unimolecular) kinetics:
Rate = k [R-X]1
The solvent helps to stabilize the carbocation, but it doesn’t appear in the rate law!!

Stereochemistry of the Stereochemistry of the reactantsreactants
• E1 reactions do not require an anti coplanar orientation of H and X.
• Diastereomers give the same products with E1 reactions, including cis- and trans products.
• Remember, E2 reactions usually give different products with diastereomers.
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
Orientation of eliminationOrientation of elimination
• E1 reactions faithfully follow Zaitsev’s rule!
• This means that the major product should be the product that is the most highly substituted.
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
Stereochemistry of productsStereochemistry of products
E1 reactions usually give the thermodynamically most stable product as the major product. This usually means that the largest groups should be on opposite sides of the double bond. Usually this means that the trans product is obtained.

RearrangementsRearrangements
• Alkyl groups and hydrogen can migrate in rearrangement reactions to give more stable intermediate carbocations.
• You shouldn’t assume that rearrangements always occur in all E1 reactions, otherwise paranoia will set in!!

comparison of E2 / E1comparison of E2 / E1
• E1 reactions occur under essentially neutral conditions with polar solvents, such as water, ethyl alcohol or acetic acid.
• E1 reactions can also occur with strong bases, but only at low concentration, about 0.01 to 0.1 M or below.
• E2 reactions require strong base in high concentration, about 1 M or above.
WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry
comparison of E2 / E1comparison of E2 / E1• E1 is a stepwise mechanism (two or
more);Carbocation intermediate!
• E2 is a concerted mechanism (one step)No intermediate!
• E1 reactions may give rearranged products
• E2 reactions don’t give rearrangement• Alcohol dehydration reactions are E1

Elimination with bulky basesElimination with bulky bases
• Non-bulky bases, such as hydroxide and ethoxide, give Zaitsev products.
• Bulky bases, such as potassium tert-butoxide, give larger amounts of the least substituted alkene (Hoffmann) than with simple bases.
