Question

3 true or false 2 points e1 elimination reactions involve a single transition state. true false previous

Explanation:

E1 elimination reactions involve two steps. First, the leaving group departs to form a carbocation intermediate (this step has its own transition state). Then, a base abstracts a proton to form the alkene (this step also has its own transition state). So, E1 reactions do not involve a single transition state.

Answer:

B. False
