Question

Statement 1: In the E2 elimination,β-H and leaving group should be antiperiplanar. Statement 2: In the E2 elimination, base always abstracts unhindered β-H (A) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation o f the statement 1. (B) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1. (C) If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false. (D) If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

Correct Explanation:In E2 elimination reaction, base preferentially abstracts that β-H which gives the more stable product. Benzyl halide undergo hydrolysis by SN1 mechanise.

Q. Statement 1: In the $E_{2}$ elimination, $β - H$ and leaving group should be antiperiplanar.
Statement 2: In the $E_{2}$ elimination, base always abstracts unhindered $β - H$

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation o f the statement 1.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

Correct Explanation:In $E_{2}$ elimination reaction, base preferentially abstracts that $β - H$ which gives the more stable product. Benzyl halide undergo hydrolysis by $S_{N} 1$ mechanise.
