Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. When the kinetics of the reaction are
measured, if the rate of the reaction is found to be dependent only upon the concentration of the alkyl halide the
reaction is first order. The substitution reaction is thus termed SN1, and the elimination reaction is termed E1. These
reactions are unimolecular and occur in two steps. The first step is rate-limiting and involves the loss of the leaving
group to form a carbocation. In the second, fast, step the nucleophile adds to the carbocation in the SN1 reaction or
elimination occurs to give an alkene in the E1 reaction. Because the carbocation is planar, the nucleophile can add to
either face and therefore racemization is usually observed although solvent effects can influence this somewhat. E1
elimination follows Zaitsev's rule and typically yields the most substituted alkene as the major product.
Conditions which favor the SN1/E1 pathway include the use of a weak nucleophile and a polar protic solvent. The same
reaction conditions apply for both SN1 and E1, therefore these reactions will compete. It is usually difficult to predict
which pathway, substitution or elimination, will predominate and so a mixture of products is frequently observed.
In contrast to the E1 reaction which involves a carbocation intermediate, the E1cB reaction takes place through a
carbanion intermediate. Base-induced abstraction of a proton in a slow, rate-limiting step gives an anion which then
expels the leaving group from the adjacent carbon. The reaction is particularly suited to the elimination of substrates
which contain poor leaving groups two carbons removed from a carbonyl group. The poor leaving group disfavors the
alternative E1 and E2 reactions, and the carbonyl group helps to stabilize the anion via resonance.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
