Rearrangements are likely to occur in which of the following reaction types? A)S_N1 reactions B)S_N2 reactions C)E1 reactions D)E2 reactions E)Both S_N1 and E1 reactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both S_N1 and E1 reactions involve carbocation formation as an intermediate step, making them more susceptible to rearrangements. E2 reactions, on the other hand, involve a concerted mechanism that does not involve the formation of intermediates, making them less likely to undergo rearrangements.
