Draw the elimination products that are formed when 3-bromo-3-methyl-1-butene reacts with

Short Answer

Expert verified

The products are given below,

Step by step solution

01

Definition of elimination reaction

Elimination reaction is basically a reaction between alkyl bromide and a base in a step-by-step manner or in a concerted mechanism of bond breaking and making. During the elimination reaction, The C-X (X=halogen) and C-H bond should be in anti-periplanar fashion.

Example: E1, E2 E1cB mechanism.

02

Products of elimination

a) In case of the 1st one, as the CH3O- is strong, it can undergo elimination reaction through E2 mechanism.

E2 mechanism

b) CH3OH being a weak base, it can undergo reaction through E2 mechanism.


These are the elimination products.

Noted that in both of the cases, the products are same.
