Both E1 and E2 reactions are possible with 3 o alkyl halides. Which elimination mechanism would befavored by the base NaOH? Show the curved arrow mechanism leading to both regioisomers. Draw theenergy diagram for this reaction and include the transition state structure leading to each of the possibleproducts. Indicate which one would be favored and use the energy diagram to explain your reasoning.How would you favor the other regioisomer?4. Both E1 and E2 are possible with 2 o RBr. Which is favored by NaOEt?
