I keep seeing this and every time I see it I get it and then i forget it the next day.
so there is one particular question that asks which one of the following reaction undergoes E2 fastest?
I was left with 2 choices:
Cyclohexane with a T-butyl group at Carbon 1 and a halide at Group 3 (cis to each other)
OR
Cyclohexane with a T-butyl group at Carbon 1 and a halide at Group 4 (cis to each other)
Which one of them work and please explain why? Im confused as to what I should be looking at and how to properly do this! Thanks guys.
