Question of the Day

Which of the following statement is correct?

E2 is a concerted reaction in which bonds break and new bonds form at the same time in a single step. Order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards E2 dehydrohalogenation is found to be 3° > 2° > 1°. In E2 reaction both hydrogen and leaving group should be antiperiplanar and that’s why In E2 elimination different stereoisomer (diastereomer) converts into different stereo product.
