Question

Compare the function of the solvent (methanol) in the E1 and S N 1 reactions. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. ResetHelp In the E1 reaction, the solvent (methanol, in this case) serves two functions: 1. It Blank the ionization process by solvating both the leaving group (bromide) and the carbocation and 2. it serves as a(n) Blank to remove the proton from a carbon adjacent to the carbocation to form the carbon-carbon Blank bond. The S N 1 mechanism adds a third function to the solvent: The first step is the same as in Blank, ionization to form the carbocation; the second step has the solvent acting as a nucleophile (a step different from in the E1 reaction); the third step involves the solvent acting like a base and removing a proton, although from an Blank atom (S N 1) and not a Blank atom (E1).
