Explanation:

what you did is this correct .

Answer 2

Answer:

Both assertion and reason are true.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

CH3ONa + (CH3)3CBr → 2-Methylpropene + NaBr.

• In Williamson's synthesis when Sodium methoxide reacts with t-butylbromide, 2-Methylpropene is produced exclusively as this is an example of Williamson's synthesis.
• This is because alkoxides are not only nucleophiles but strong bases also, thus leading to the elimination reaction of alkyl halides.
