Question

What product would you expect from elimination reaction of 3-chloro-3-ethylpentane with
C2H5OH?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When 3-chloro-3-ethyl pentane reacts with ethanol then it forms 3-ethyl pent-2-ene.

Chemical equation :-

CH3-CH2-C(Cl)(C2H5)-CH2-CH3 + C2H5OH → CH3-CH2-C(C2H5)=CH-CH3

( Refer to the attachment. )

Note :-

This is the example of α-β Elimatiaon reaction because halogen goes from α-C and Hydrogen goes from β-C.
