Which of the following is true for E2 reactions?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

All are true for E2 reactions. E2 reactions are bimolecular, with the rate dependent upon the substrate and base. Both E1 and E2 reactions generally follow Zaitsev's rule and form the substituted double bond. The stereochemistry for E2 should be antiperiplanar (this is not necessary for E1).
