Dehydrohalogenation of Neopentyl Chloride gives 2-Methyl-2-Butene.

Explanation:

  • The Neopentyl Chloride has the IUPAC name as 1-Chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane and its chemical composition is C_5H_1_1Cl.
  • Its weight is 106.5 grams.
  • This can be dehydrohalogenation in the process of SN_2 mechanism of the process of forming new compounds.
  • In this method, the product obtained is 2-Methyl-2-Butene, by treating Neopentyl Chloride with alcoholic KOH.
  • And there will be a rearrangement of the cation of the carbon which is referred as carbocation and this process is a very slow mechanism.
