Question

2.t-butyl chloride on heating with sodium methoxide gives 2-methylpropene instead of butylmethyl
ether​

Answer 1

The alkyl halide must be 1° as the reaction pathway.

If alkyl halide is 3° then the alkene will be the major product. Hence, 2-methylpropene is instead of t-butylmethylether.

I hope it is helpful.....

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

2.t-butyl chloride on heating with sodium methoxide gives 2-methylpropene instead of butyl methyl

ether​

Answer:

Reaction of tertiary butyl chloride with sodium methoxide is wiliamson synthesis . but here elimination reaction takes place and 2 methyl ether. propane is produced instead of t butyl methyl ether this is due to the steric hindrance of tertiary butyl chloride

t - butyl chloride

Alkoxide ion are powerful nucleophile base when they treated with t

alkyl  halide they bring dehydrohalogenation resulting in formation of alkene
