Compound w , c6h13cl, undergoes base-promoted e2 elimination to give a single c6h12 alkene, y. compound x, c6h13br, undergoes a
similar reaction to form y and an isomeric alkene z. w is chiral; x is not. catalytic hydrogenation of y and z produces 2-methylpentane. propose structures for w and x.
<span>Answer:
W must be 5-chloro-2-methylpentane. It can give only 4-methy-1-pentene (Y) upon dehydrohalogenation:
X must be 4-chloro-2-methylpentane. Dehydrohalogenation yields both Y and 4-methyl-2-pentene. (Z)</span>
The periodic table is a table displaying each element and information about the elements, for example atomic number and chemical properties. This is necessary because without it it would be very hard to find information on the elements.
