Name the major product obtained when tert-butyl bromide is treated with sodium ethoxide. Ans4. The major product obtained is 2 methyl 1 propene because in the presence of alcoholic NaOH (sodium ethoxide) alkyl halides undergo dehydro halogenation. Ease of dehydro halogenation of alkyl halides is tertiary > secondary > primary. Q5. Q: The reaction of 2, 2-dimethyl-1-propanol with HBr is very slow and gives 2-bromo-2 methyl propane as the major product. Q: Solvolysis of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane in acetic acid containing potassium acetate gave three products.
