Q. Reaction of t-butyl bromide with sodium methoxide produces
A) Isobutane
B) Isobutylene
C) Sodium t-butoxide
D) t-butylmethyl ether
Explanation
(b)
$CH_{3}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$
| |
$CH_{3} - C - Br + CH_{3}ONa \longrightarrow CH_{3} - C =$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$ $CH_{2} + {CH}_{3}OH + NaBr$
t-butyl bromide sodium 2-methyl propene methanol
methoxide (isobutylene)
