Consider the following reactions (1) (CH 3 ) 3 CCH(OH)CH 3 → conc .H 2 SO 4 (2) (CH 3 ) 2 CHCH(Br)CH 3 → conc . KOH (3) ( CH 3 ) 2 CHCH(Br)CH 3 → (CH 3 ) 3 CO ⊖ K ⊕ (4) Which of these reactions(s) will produce Saytzeff product?
Options
- A(1), (2) and (4)
- B(3) only
- C(4) only
- D(2) and (4)
Correct answer
A. (1), (2) and (4)
Step-by-step solution
Bulky base like ( C H 3 ) 3 O ⊖ K ⊕ always prefers Hoffmann product (less stable alkene) in case of 1, 2 and 4 elimination product are according to Saytzeff Rule (more stable alkene)
