Which of the following involves the same steps?
Correct answer: B. E1 and SN1
- A. E1 and E2
- B. E1 and SN1
- C. SN1 and SN2
- D. E2and SN1
Explanation
E1 (unimolecular elimination) and SN1 (unimolecular nucleophilic substitution) both involve the same first step: the formation of a carbocation after the leaving group departs. After that, E1 leads to elimination (forming a double bond), and SN1 involves nucleophilic substitution.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
