The video tutorial explains the E2 elimination reaction, where two groups from adjacent carbons are removed and replaced by a double bond. It details the mechanism involving a nucleophile, such as hydroxide, which extracts a proton, leading to the formation of a pi bond and the departure of a leaving group. The process is a concerted reaction, occurring in one step with a bimolecular transition state. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of beta elimination, where the proton is removed from the beta carbon, allowing electrons to form the pi bond.
