Question

1 iodobutane reacts with pyridine to give

Answer 1

Answer:

1-Iodobutane reacts with pyridine to give:

N-butylpyridinium iodide

Answer 2

N-butyl Pyridinium iodide

Explanation:

• N-butyl Pyridinium iodide formed when Iodobutane reacts with pyridine. It is an elimination reaction that follows E2 mechanism.
• The reaction between 1-iodobutane and pyridine is an example of an E2 i.e bimolecular elimination, elimination reaction.
• Pyridine predominantly act as a base, the alkyl halide is a primary alkyl halide and these two factors facilitate the E2 mechanism.
• Both H and Cl are eliminated in a single step here, to get 1-butene as the product of the reaction.
