Practice Problem 07.77e X Incorrect. Predict the major product for the following reaction: H₂C CHZ Edit in - SHOW HINT SHOW ANSWER

Answer 1

It is a type of Elimination reaction. In most of the cases most highly substituted olkene is formed that the one with largest number of alkyl groups bonded to double bond such product is known as saytzeff product. In some cases major alkene product is the least substituted alkene such product is known as Hoffmann product In the above reaction t-butoxide is used as a base. Due to present of t-butye group , it is bulky in nature. Due to its bulky nature estreic hindecance iseen at & carbon from where proton is all moved). Thus it will preferentially remove proton from the small group.

Mechanism: (Hoffmann Product.) & Hot. Steric hindrance. au there. (saytzebb produce) (Disfavoured) Thus less in case of bulky base line text-butoxide substituted alkine will be formed .
