Answer:
- Elimination
- Elimination
- Zaitsev
- Zaitsev
- Carbocation
Explanation:
- The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
- The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
- The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION
Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism
Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds
