Treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with sodium ethoxide in ethanol at 70^ C gives a mixture of two products X ₁ and X ₂ through one step processes. The energy profile diagrams of the two processes are shown below.
Options
- AProduct X ₁ is 2-methyl-1-butene.
- BProduct X₂ is formed faster than X₁ .
- CIf the same reaction is carried out using potassium tertbutoxide in tertbutanol at 75^ C , the major product w
- DIn the reaction using sodium ethoxide in ethanol large amount of 2-ethoxy-2-methylbutane is formed.
Correct answer
C. If the same reaction is carried out using potassium tertbutoxide in tertbutanol at 75^ C , the major product w
