Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Major product obtained when tertiary butyl bromide is heated with alcoholic KOH solution is 2-methylpropene.

● Explanation -

When tertiary butyl bromide is treated with alcoholic KOH, dehydrohalogenation occurs to form 2-methylpropene.

CH3-C(CH3)2-Br + Alc.KOH --> CH3-C(CH3)=CH2 + KBr + H2O

* If aq.KOH was used, major product will be tertiary butyl alcohol.

CH3-C(CH3)2-Br + aq.KOH --> CH3-C(CH3)2-OH + KBr

Thanks dear for asking. Hope this helps you...
