Identify the major product that is obtained on treatment of

\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{F}) \mathrm{CH}_3

with

\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{O}^{-} / \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}

Options

A $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{OCH}_3\right) \mathrm{CH}_3$
B $\mathrm{CH}_3$ \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH} $_3$
C $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2$ \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH} $_2$
D $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OCH}_3$

Correct answer

B. $\mathrm{CH}_3$ \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH} $_3$

Step-by-step solution

According to Saytzeff's rule, dehydrohalogenation occur in such a way that the major product is more highly substituted product. Identify the major product that is obtained on treatment of CH_3 CH_2 CH(F) CH_3 with CH_3 O^ - / CH_3 OH is
