Answer» Correct Answer - B `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-Br+CH_(3)ON aoverset("Elimination")tounderset("Isobutylene")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)=CH_(2)+CH_(3)OH+NaBr` `CH_(3)Ona toCH_(3)O^(-)+Na^(+)` methoxide ion `(CH_(3)O^(-))` is a strong base, therefore it abstract proton from `3^(@)` alkyl halide and favours elimination reaction. |
