Your task for this DTC is to make a presentation on the difference between E1 and E2 elimination reactions. You need to include the following information:
- How do the two mechanisms differ (including a curly arrow mechanism for each one)
- The factors that decide which mechanism is likely to take place.
- The relationship between the concentration of each reactant and the rate of reaction (use graphs to show this)
- The concentration / time graph for the reaction for each mechanism.
- The energy profile for each mechanism
- What is Saytzeff’s rule and does it apply to E1, E2, or both?
