Predict all the alkenes that would be formed by dehydrohalogenation of the following halides with NaOEt in ethanol and identify the major product obtained in each case. I-bromo-1-methycyclohexane. |
|
Answer» Solution :According to Saytzeff rule, ALKYL halides undergo dehydrohalogenation to give more highly substituted alkene as the major PRODUCT. Thus, the HALIDE (1),(2) and (3) undergo dehydrohalogenation in the PRESENCE of `NaOEt//EtOH` to YIELD 3,4,4-trimethylpent-2-ene(III) and 1-methycyclohexana (V) repectively as more products. (iii)
