QUESTION:
For each reaction, decide whether substitution or elimination (or both) is possible, and predict the products you expect. Label the major products. (a) 1@bromo@1@methylcyclohexane + NaOH in acetone (b) 1@bromo@1@methylcyclohexane + triethylamine (Et3N) (c) chlorocyclohexane + NaOCH3 in CH3OH (d) chlorocyclohexane + NaOC(CH3)3 in (CH3)3COH
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
(a) 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane + NaOH in acetone
1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane undergoes elimination reaction to form 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene as the major product. The reaction is given below.
