Which of the following reactions have a first step similar to each other?
Correct answer: D. E1,S1
- A. E1,SN2
- B. E2,SN1
- C. E2,SN2
- D. E1,S1
Explanation
Both E1 and SN1 start the same way, with the dissociation of a leaving group, forming a trigonal planar molecule with a carbocation.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
