Consider the reaction, The correct explanation is

Options

  1. Athe product is formed due to nucleophilic substitution
  2. Bthe product is formed according to Saytzeff's rule
  3. Cconjugated double bond product is formed due to higher stability because of resonance stabilization
  4. D( CH ₃ )₃ CO ⁻ is a better leaving group.

Correct answer

C. conjugated double bond product is formed due to higher stability because of resonance stabilization

Step-by-step solution

( CH ₃ )₃ CO ⁻ is a better base than a nucleophile. Hence, elimination occurs. The product formed is resonance stabilised.
