Question 1
How could you change the reaction conditions given to most strongly favor an E2 mechanism?

◦ Increase the concentration of the reactant
◦ Add a stronger nucleophile
◦ Use a tertiary alkyl halide
◦ Use a higher concentration of water
◦ Use a stronger base
Question 2
How could you change the reaction conditions given to most strongly favor an E1 mechanism?

◦ Use a weaker base
◦ Increase the concentration of the reactant
◦ Use a primary alkyl halide
◦ Use a higher concentration of water
◦ Use a stronger nucleophile
