Answer» Correct Answer - B Sodium ethoxide is a strong base. The nucleophile `C_(2)H_(5)O^()` can not attack at the carbon of C-Cl due to steric hindrance. Hence, elimination reaction occurs to fomr alkene. `CH_(3)- underset(CH_(3)) underset(|)overset(CH_(3)) overset(|)C-Cl+ underset("alc")(C_()H_(5)ONa)+ CH_(3)- overset(CH_(2)) overset(||)C-CH_(3)+C_(2)H_(5)OH+NaCl` |
