Question: Propose structures for compounds that fit the following descriptions:

(c) An alkyl halide that gives the non-Zaitsev product onreaction

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Formation of non-Zaitsev product

Step by step solution

01

E2 reaction

It is a nucleophilic elimination reaction in which an old bond is broken and a new bond is formed both the process occur simultaneously and no intermediate is formed.

Here, the carbon-hydrogen or halogen bond breaks to form a new double bond. Hence, it’s a single-step reaction.

02

Formation of non – Zaitsev products

Non – Zaitsev products are the less substituted products they are not formed by elimination reactions because in the reaction the anti pre planer geometry occurs but here due to the involvement of -H and -Cl the anti pre planer geometry does not occur hence not performed.
