Question

Neopentyl bromide undergoes dehydrohalogenation to give alkenes even though it has no β- hydrogen. This is due to (A) E2 mechanism (B) E1 mechanism (C) Rearrangement of carbocations by E1 mechanism (D) E1cB mechanism

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Neopentyl bromide give a carbocation as intermediate which undergo for rearrangement and show E1 mechanism (even has no β- H atom ).

Q. Neopentyl bromide undergoes dehydrohalogenation to give alkenes even though it has no $β$ - hydrogen. This is due to

E2 mechanism

E1 mechanism

Rearrangement of carbocations by E1 mechanism

E1cB mechanism

None of these

Neopentyl bromide give a carbocation as intermediate which undergo for rearrangement and show $E_{1}$ mechanism (even has no $β - H$ atom $)$ .
