Question
Predict all the alkenes that would be formed by dehydrohalogenation of the following alkyl halide.
- 2-chloro-2-methylbutane
- 3-bromo-2,2,3-trimethylpentane
Advertisements
Solution
- Dehydrohalogenation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane will yield 2-methylbut-2-ene and 2-methylbut-1-ene.

- Dehydrohalogenation of 3-bromo-2,2,3-trimethylpentane will yield 3,4,4-trimethylpent-2-ene and 2-ethyl-3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene.
