Explanation

The electrophilic aromatic substitution proceeds through the formation of a sigma complex. In this reaction, the electrophilic species (like a carbocation) attacks the aromatic ring, forming a cyclohexadienyl cation intermediate, which is a sigma complex.

Explanation

In E1cb reaction reaction intermediate is carbanion.  Hence, product formation takes place according to Hofmann rule.

Arrange the reactivity of alcohols in decreasing order for E1 elimination reaction:

(i)              OH             lCH3-CH-CH3

(ii)              OH              lCH3-C-CH3            l          CH3

(iii)                OH                 lC6H5-C-CH3              l             CH3

(iv) CH3-CH2-CH2OH

Explanation

 

The term pyrolytic elimination literally means an elimination reaction occurring in the organic substrate due to the application of heat (Greek word pyr meaning fire). Pyrolytic eliminations do not require any additional reagent or solvent to occur, and mostly carried out in the gaseous phase though can be performed in inert solvents. Thus, these type of eliminations are different from other types of eliminations (E1,E2 or E1cB) as all other types of elimination reactions require an added base (external base or solvent) to proceed. These thermal elimination reactions of molecules can also be termed as pyrolytic Ei (Elimination internal) reactions. Carboxylic esters, xanthates, amine oxides, sulfoxides and selenoxides are some substrates which commonly undergo pyrolytic eliminations.
