E1cB should be thought of as being on one end of a continuous spectrum, which includes the E1 mechanism at the opposite end and the E2 mechanism in the middle. The E1 mechanism usually has the opposite characteristics: the leaving group is a good one (like -OTs or -Br), while the hydrogen is not particularly acidic and a strong base is absent.
The E2 mechanism, where E2 stands for bimolecular elimination, involves a one-step mechanism in which carbon-hydrogen and carbon-halogen bonds break to form a double bond (C=C Pi bond). The specifics of the reaction are as follows: E2 is a single step elimination, with a single transition state.
Common mechanistic contexts that involve the departure of a nucleofugal leaving group. The leaving group (LG) is shown in red. Top: S N 2 reaction; middle/left: first step of S N 1 and E1 reactions; middle/right: second step of E1cb, A AC 2, and B AC 2 reactions; bottom: E2 reaction.
In organic chemistry, the E i mechanism (Elimination Internal/Intramolecular), also known as a thermal syn elimination or a pericyclic syn elimination, is a special type of elimination reaction in which two vicinal (adjacent) substituents on an alkane framework leave simultaneously via a cyclic transition state to form an alkene in a syn elimination.

More O’Ferrall–Jencks plot of the competing β-elimination mechanisms: E2, E1 and E1cB. The arrows indicate the effects of increasing the leaving group ability on the position of the transition state.
Ubiquitin-activating enzymes, also known as E1 enzymes, catalyze the first step in the ubiquitination reaction, which (among other things) can target a protein for degradation via a proteasome. This covalent bond of ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins to targeted proteins is a major mechanism for regulating protein function in eukaryotic ...
include processes such as dehydration and are found to follow an E1, E2 or E1cB reaction mechanism: Substitution reactions: nucleophilic aliphatic substitution: with S N 1, S N 2 and S N i reaction mechanisms: nucleophilic aromatic substitution: nucleophilic acyl substitution: electrophilic substitution: electrophilic aromatic substitution ...
For the 'small rings' (3- and 4- membered), the slow rates is a consequence of angle strain experienced at the transition state. Although three-membered rings are more strained, formation of aziridine is faster than formation of azetidine due to the proximity of the leaving group and nucleophile in the former, which increases the probability that they would meet in a reactive conformation.
