Determine whether each of these reactions occur through an SN1 , SN2 , E1, or E2 mechanism. A. A cyclohexane ring with a bromine substituent is treated with sodium tert butoxide in tert butanol. The product is cyclohexene and sodium bromide. A. The mechanism of Reaction A is: SN1 SN2 E1 E2

E2

Explanation:

We can generally regard the bromocyclohexane as having a secondary carbon atom to Which the bromine atom is attached.

Tert-butoxide in tert-butanol favours the formation of an alkene (elimination) leading to the predominance of the less substituted alkene.

Generally, bulky bases such as tert-butoxide favours elimination by E2 mechanism over substitution.

chemistry sucks a**

explanation:

with this one i know the answer in craters one reason i looked it up and i learned about it there is my evidence
