Acid catalyzed dehydration of cyclobutylmethanol proceeds via an E1 mechanism. One alkene is methylenecyclobutane and the other is in figure.
The ionization and deprotonation phases make up the majority of the E1 mechanism process, commonly referred to as unimolecular elimination. A carbocation is created as an intermediate during ionization. The carbocation loses a proton during deprotonation. This occurs when a base is present, and the molecule then forms a pi-bond. The concentration of the substance to be changed and the pace of the reaction are inversely related in E1. First-order kinetics exists. In an elimination reaction, atoms are transformed into molecules or compounds and eliminated. Elimination is often catalyzed by a metal, an acid, or a base. There is often conflict between substitution reactions and elimination reactions. In this reaction, an alkene is produced by removing one equivalent (unit) of acid from a substrate, often an alkyl halide. Both the E1 and E2 processes are potential pathways for this elimination reaction.
