The following reaction gives a mixture of the nucleophilic substitution (SN1 or SN2) and elimination (E1 or E2) products. Propose two mechanisms that can account for the formation of these products. One mechanism should be for the nucleophilic substitution reaction and the other mechanism would show the elimination reaction.
Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. When the kinetics of the reaction are measured, if the rate of the reaction is found to be dependent only upon the concentration of the alkyl halide the reaction is first order. The substitution reaction is thus termed SN1, and the elimination reaction is termed E1. These reactions are unimolecular and occur in two steps. The first step is rate-limiting and involves the loss of the leaving group to form a carbocation. In the second, fast, step the nucleophile adds to the carbocation in the SN1 reaction or elimination occurs to give an alkene in the E1 reaction. Because the carbocation is planar, the nucleophile can add to either face and therefore racemization is usually observed although solvent effects can influence this somewhat. E1 elimination follows Zaitsev’s rule and typically yields the most substituted alkene as the major product.

- These problems differ from those in earlier chapters in that they directly test your knowledge of core material rather than using a descriptive passage to extend the material or introduce new ideas.
