Which of the following reactions have first step similar with each other?
Correct answer: D. E1 , SN1
- A. E1, SN2
- B. E2 , SN1
- C. E2 , SN2
- D. E1 , SN1
Explanation
Both, SN1 and E1 reactions are two stepped reactions, with the first step involving the formation of a carbocation, formed from the removal of the substituent group.The diagram, presented below, shows that the diversion happens during the second step, where the addition of another group makes it an SN1 reaction and it's lack thereof makes it an E1 reaction.

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.
