2012年11月30日 · Strong bases such as hydroxide ion HO (-), alkoxides RO(-), and species more basic than them (e.g. acetylides, amide bases, hydride) are fully capable of performing E2 reactions, however. So a reasonably good dividing line for “E2-capable” bases is around a pK a of 12 for the conjugate acid.

2021年10月18日 · Unlike E1 reactions, E2 reactions remove two subsituents with the addition of a strong base, resulting in an alkene. E2 reactions are typically seen with secondary and tertiary alkyl halides, but a hindered base is necessary with a primary halide. The mechanism by which it occurs is a single step concerted reaction with one transition state.

The list of common strong bases used in E2 reactions is shown below: There are bulky (sterically hindered) and small (sterically unhindered) bases. All of them are suitable for E2 reactions but they are used selectively mainly to control the regiochemistry of the E2 reaction ( Zaitsev’s and Hoffman products ).

8.1.4 Bases in E2 Reactions (Brief Summary) The most commonly applied bases in an E2 reaction are hydroxide OH – and alkoxide RO – . Specifically, the combination of a base with the corresponding alcohol is used broadly, such as CH 3 ONa/CH 3 OH or C 2 H 5 ONa/C 2 H 5 OH.

2012年9月27日 · What is the E2 reaction (elimination, bimolecular) and what is the e2 mechanism? Let's examine the effect of concentration on rate & also stereochemistry

2023年1月23日 · E2 reactions are typically seen with secondary and tertiary alkyl halides, but a hindered base is necessary with a primary halide. The mechanism by which it occurs is a single step concerted reaction with one transition state.

2012年12月4日 · In the previous four articles in this series, we covered how to identify where an SN1/SN2/E1/E2 reaction could take place, and then discussed the various roles of the substrate (primary, secondary, tertiary), the nucleophile/base, and temperature.

2024年4月27日 · In the E2 reaction, a strong base (typically hydroxide ion, OH⁻) removes a proton from the carbon near the leaving group. As the base eliminates the proton, it also attacks the nearby carbon atom, aiding in the removal of the leaving group. This concerted reaction process causes the two carbon atoms to create a double bond (alkene).

E2 is a bimolecular reaction. So, similarly to the SN2 reaction, the rate of the reaction depends on both concentrations of the substrate and the base. However, since it’s an elimination and not a substitution reaction, we’re going to typically compare the E2 reactions to E1 reactions.

The E2 reaction is favored by a high concentration of a strong base (OH –, RO –, or NH 2 –) and a polar aprotic solvent. The E1 reaction is favored by a weak base, and a polar protic compound, H 2 O, ROH, can be both a base and a solvent (solvolysis).
