Explanation of Solution
E2 type of reaction is second order elimination reaction in which the rate of reaction depends on both the reactants i.e. the alkyl halide and the base. The choice of solvent for this type of reaction is polar aprotic. DMSO is a polar aprotic solvent and

(d)
Interpretation: The change in the rate of an E2 reaction is to be stated when the leaving is changed from
Concept introduction: A leaving group bigger in size is preferred as it leaves easily and fast while a smaller leaving group leaves with difficulty and slow.
Answer to Problem 8.11P
The rate of an E2 reaction is decreased when the leaving group is changed from
Explanation of Solution
E2 type of reaction is second order elimination reaction in which
the rate of reaction depends on both the reactants i.e. the alkyl halide and the base. Iodine is bigger in size as compared to bromine. An atom bigger in size is a good leaving group. Thus, iodine is a better leaving group then bromine. Thus, when

(e)
Interpretation: The change in the rate of an E2 reaction is to be stated when the base is changed from
Concept introduction: Strong base is more efficient in proton abstraction and hence, it is more preferred in E2 type of reactions.
Answer to Problem 8.11P
The rate of an E2 reaction is decreased when the base is changed from
Explanation of Solution
E2 type of reaction is second order elimination reaction in which the rate of reaction depends on both the reactants i.e. the alkyl halide and the base. A stronger base will facilitate the abstraction of proton and hence will increase the rate of E2 reaction.
The rate of an E2 reaction is decreased when the base is changed from
(f)
Interpretation: The change in the rate of an E2 reaction is to be stated when the the alkyl halide is changed from
Concept introduction: The rate of E2 reaction depends on the halide being used. A halide in which carbon attached to the leaving group has more number of alkyl groups is usually preferred.
Answer to Problem 8.11P
The rate of E2 reaction increases when the alkyl halide is changed from
Explanation of Solution
E2 type of reaction is second order elimination reaction in which the rate of reaction depends on both the reactants i.e. the alkyl halide and the base. A highly substituted product is preferred in E2 reaction as it is more stable. This can be obtained when the carbon attached to the leaving group has more number of alkyl groups. Since

- The behavior of esters and ketones in a reaction with a nucleophile is different because: 1) the carbonyl of the ketone is more positive. 2) the ester cannot form a tetrahedral intermediate. 3) the two oxygens of the ester sterically hinder the nucleophile attack. 4) there is a reasonable leaving group in the ester.

The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH2Clɔ. In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
