In the above reaction: By which mechanism does the reaction proceed?

A$$E1$$
B$$E2$$
C$$E1cB$$
Correct Answer
D$$ \beta $$-Elimination

Solution

Although E1 reactions typically involves a carbocation intermediate, the E1cB reactoin utilizes a carbanion intermediate. This reaction is generally utilized when a poor leaving group, such an and alcohol, is involved. This poor leaving group makes the direct E1 or E2 reactions difficult.

Thus in the above reaction E1-CB mechanism is taking place and hence $$ -H \ and \ -F $$ were removed and a $$-D$$ was added and a double bond.
