Which of the following statements is correct for alkyl halide? Correct Answer As branching at carbon increases, E1 mechanism is favoured as compared to SN1 mechanism
In most unimolecular reactions of alkyl halide SN1 reaction is favoured over E1 reaction. E1 mechanism is favoured as compared to SN1 mechanism by branching at carbon increases, as more steric hinderence at the attacking site will leads to E1 mechanism.
