The correct Answer is:
To solve the given reaction and determine the major and minor products, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactant The reactant is given as CH₃-CH₂-CH(Cl)-CH₃. This can be expanded to show its structure more clearly: - The structure is: ``` CH₃ | CH₃-CH-CH₂ | Cl ``` ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Conditions The reaction is treated with alcoholic KOH at a temperature of 475 K. Alcoholic KOH is a strong base that promotes elimination reactions (specifically E2 mechanism) leading to the formation of alkenes by removing a halogen (Cl in this case) and a hydrogen atom from adjacent carbon atoms. ### Step 3: Identify Possible Elimination Sites In the structure, we have two possible sites for elimination: 1. Removing a hydrogen from the carbon adjacent to the carbon bearing the chlorine (C-3). 2. Removing a hydrogen from the carbon at the end of the chain (C-2). ### Step 4: Determine the Products - **Product A**: If we remove a hydrogen from C-3 and the Cl from C-4, we form: ``` CH₃ | CH₃-CH=CH₂ (Product A) ``` - **Product B**: If we remove a hydrogen from C-2 and the Cl from C-3, we form: ``` CH₃ | CH₂=CH-CH₃ (Product B) ``` ### Step 5: Apply Zaitsev's Rule According to Zaitsev's rule, the more substituted alkene is favored as the major product. - **Product A** has a double bond between C-2 and C-3, with one substituent on C-2 (CH₃). - **Product B** has a double bond between C-3 and C-4, with two substituents on C-3 (CH₃ and CH₂). Since Product B is more substituted (it has more alkyl groups attached to the double bond), it will be the major product. ### Step 6: Conclusion Based on Zaitsev's rule, Product B predominates over Product A. Therefore, the answer to the question is that Product B will dominate. ### Final Answer **B predominates.** ---
