FactsFacts
Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides exhibits second-order kineticsexhibits second-order kinetics
first order in alkyl halidefirst order in alkyl halidefirst order in basefirst order in baserate = rate = kk[alkyl halide][base][alkyl halide][base]
implies that rate-determining step implies that rate-determining step involves both base and alkyl halide; involves both base and alkyl halide; i.e., it is bimoleculari.e., it is bimolecular

E2 and E1 Reactions
Substitution vs. EliminationAlkyl halides can undergo SN2, SN1, E2 and E1 Reactions
1) Which reaction conditions favor SN2/E2 or SN1/E1?
•SN2/E2 reactions are favored by a high concentration of nucleophile/strong base
•SN1/E1 reactions are favored by a poor nucleophile/weak base
2) What will be the relative distribution of substitution product vs. elimination product?
Consider the Substrate
NOTE: a bulky base encourages elimination over substitution

Consecutive E2 Elimination Reactions:Alkynes
Intermolecular vs. Intramolecular Reactions
• A low concentration of reactant favors an intramolecular reaction• The intramolecular reaction is also favored when a five- or six-membered ring is formed
Three- and four-membered rings are less easily formed
Three-membered ring compounds are formed more easily than four-membered ring compounds
The likelihood of the reacting groups finding each other decreases sharply when the groups are in compounds that would form seven-membered and larger rings.
