Chapter 7, Problem PROBLEM 7-24(choose chapter or problem)
1. Predict the elimination products of the following reactions. When two alkenes are possible, predict which one will be the major product. Explain your answers, showing the degree of substitution of each double bond in the products.
2. Which of these reactions are likely to produce both elimination and substitution products?
(a) 2-bromopentane + \(NaOCH_3\)
(b) 3-bromo-3-methylpentane + NaOMe (Me = methyl, \(CH_3\))
(c) 2-bromo-3-ethylpentane + NaOH

(b) 3-bromo-3-methylpentane + NaOMe (Me = methyl, \(CH_3\))
(c) 2-bromo-3-ethylpentane + NaOH
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
The given compounds undergo elimination reaction to give alkenes as the product. There can be the chances of major and minor products depending on the degree of substitution of the double bonds.
