Question

2-bromo-3,4-dimethylpentane is combined with t-butoxide. The product of this reaction is.

Answer 1

2-bromo-3,4-dimethylpentane is combined with t-butoxide. The product of this reaction is 3,4 dimethyl - 1- pentene.  

The reaction of 2-bromo-3,4-dimethylpentane is combined with t-butoxide forms 2 alkene in the elimination reaction due to steric hindrance.  The least stable alkene 3,4 dimethyl - 1- pentene is easy to make. the  t-butoxide is (CH₃)₃CO⁻. The reaction involves in this reaction is E2 elimination reaction. This reaction involves the one step reaction. The product will also form that is 3,4 dimethyl - 2 - pentene.  so the reaction involve Elimination reaction and the product due to steric hindrance is 3,4 dimethyl - 1- pentene

Thus, 2-bromo-3,4-dimethylpentane is combined with t-butoxide. The product of this reaction is 3,4 dimethyl - 1- pentene.
