# 0.3 E2 elimination  (Page 2/3)

 Page 2 / 3

There is a smooth transition between the reactants and products. Analogous to the ${S}_{N}2$ reaction, no intermediate has been isolated or detected. Furthermore, no rearrangements occur under E2 conditions. This situation is in marked contrast to E1 elimination reactions, where carbocation intermediates are generated and rearrangements are frequently observed.

The alkyl halide adopts an anti-periplanar conformation in the transition state, and experimental evidence demonstrates that if the size of the base is increased, then it becomes more difficult for the large base to abstract an internal $\beta$ -hydrogen atom. In such cases, the base removes a less hindered $\beta$ -hydrogen, leading to the predominance of the thermodynamically less stable (terminal) alkene in the product mixture. This type of result is often referred to as anti-Zaitsev or Hofmann elimination. Thus, in the reaction of 2-bromo-2,3-dimethylbutane given above, 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene would be the major product (anti-Zaitsev) if the conditions involved use of a bulkier base. The anti-periplanar conformations are illustrated in the Newman projections below:

Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides in the presence of strong base (E2) is often accompanied by the formation of substitution ( ${S}_{N}2$ ) products. The extent of competitive substitution depends on the structure of the alkyl halide. Primary alkyl halides give predominantly substitution products (the corresponding ether), secondary alkyl halides give predominantly elimination products, and tertiary alkyl halides give exclusively elimination products. For example, the reaction of 2-bromopropane with sodium ethoxide proceeds as follows:

In general, for the reaction of alkyl halides with strong base:

can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?

what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.

algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
