Title: Question about Organic Chemistry? Post by: Nurs101 on Jun 1, 2013 This question has to do with E1 rxn. How come with 1-iodo-1methylcyclopentane is heated with ethanol. You can get a double with bond with the cyclohexyl group double bonded with CH2 (I mean that the CH3 has hydrogen give up one of its electrons). But in the case of 3-bromo-2,2-dimethylbutane heated in ethanol (which has five products due to rearrangement) the CH3 group does not give its electrons up so, you can't have a CH2 double bonded to the Carbocation? Please HELP! If this question doesn't make sense please also comment so I can rephrase it better. I need someone to give me a thorough answer
