  E1 reaction E2 reaction
(a) Steps

(i)

(ii)

(b) Transition state

(i)

(ii)

(c) Kinetics First order, unimolecular Rate = k1[RX of ionization Second−order, bimolecular Rate = k2[RX][:B&m/p>
(d) Driving force Ionization of R − X Attack by B:− on H
(e) Stere− ospecifici Non−stereospecific Anti elimination
(f) Effect of R Stability of R+ 3° > 2gt; 1° RX Alkene stability (Saytzeff Rule)
(g) Rearr− angeme Common None
(h) Regios− electivity Saytzeff Usually, Saytzeff but Hofmann with bulky bases (Me3CO−)
(i) Alkyl group 3° > 2° > 1° 3° > 2° > 1°
(j) Base strength Weak Strong
(k) Leaving group Weak base favours reaction I− > Br− − > F− Weak base favoures reaction I− > Br− − > F−
(l) Catalysis Ag+, AlCl3 No specific catalyst
