Question

Neopentyl bromide, undergoes dehydrohalogenation to give alkenes even though it has no β − H . This is due to, E 2 mechanism, Rearrangement of carbocations by E 1 mechanism, E 1 cB mechanism, E 4 mechanism

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Neopentyl bromide give a carbocation as intermediate which undergo for rearrangement and show E 1 mechanism (even though it has no β − H atom). Thus Rearrangement of carbocations by E 1 mechanism is the correct option.
