E1 Reaction

The video tutorial explains the E1 elimination reaction, comparing it to E2 and SN1 reactions. It describes the two-step mechanism of E1, highlighting the role of the leaving group and the formation of a carbocation. The tutorial also covers the change in geometry from tetrahedral to trigonal planar and the interaction of weak nucleophiles like water, leading to the formation of a carbon-carbon π bond.
