In an e2 mechanism which refers to bimolecular elimination is basically a onestep mechanism. The alpha proton in an e2 reaction substrate is also only weakly acidic because the bond between the alpha proton and the alpha carbon is relatively strong. If the e1 and e3 binding sites on an e2 overlap, then e1catalyzed e2.
As a consequence of the preceding, e2 reactions usually proceed with a strong nucleophile e. The numbers do not have to do with the number of steps in the mechanism, but rather the kinetics of the reaction, bimolecular and unimolecular respectively. When a building is designed and built in line with e2 as1, it is deemed. In the e2 mechanism, a base abstracts a proton neighboring the leaving group, forcing the electrons down to make a double bond, and, in so doing, forcing off the leaving group.
