17 Alkyl Halides and Amines(5)(6)(7)Mostly tertiary alkyl halidesgive this reaction.50 % is inversion and 50%retension of configurationtakes place.Rate = K[R-X)(5)(6)(7)Mostly primary alkyl halidesgive this reaction.100% inversion ofconfiguration takes place.Rate = [Nu][R-X]17.1.7 1,2 Elimination ReactionsDefinition of Elimination Reaction:“The chemical reaction in which two groups are eliminated from two adjacent atoms iscalled elimination reaction”. Since β-hydrogen is necessary for eliminations, it is also called β-elimination.Explanation:β-hydrogen atom in alkyl halides is slightly acidic due to electron with drawing effect ofhalogen.183The attacking nucleophile can either attack α-carbon to give substitution product or β-hydrogen to give elimination reaction. Strong bases such as OH OR, NH2 cause elimination in preferences to substitution.Highly polarizable nucleophile and weak bases such as I - , RS - etc. give substitution reactions.E1 mechanism“It is unimolecular two step elimination reactions.”
