(6 pts) ii) Circle the energy coordinate diagram that corresponds to the El reaction above. (3 pts) I'm in inn ii) How would the reaction coordinate diagram AND the rate change for E1 if the starting electrophile was changed to the molecule Defów? Be very specific and accurate in your answer. (6 pts)

Answer 1

E, Bar So the correct curve is a Br xxn coordinate JY The reaction coordinate diagram will be like B, because the Carbocation first produced after leaving of Br, rearranges to a stable 3o carlocation and elimination oceures. A tertiary carbocation is more stable than a benzyl cation, So this reaction occurs faster
