Predict all the alkenes that would be formed by dehydrohalogenation of the following halides with sodium ethoxide in ethanol and identify the major alkene:
(i) 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane , (ii) 2-Chloro-2-methylbutane
(iii) 2,2,3-Trimethyl-3-bromopentane

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To predict the alkenes formed by the dehydrohalogenation of the given halides using sodium ethoxide in ethanol, we will follow these steps for each compound: ### (i) 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane 1. **Identify the structure**: The structure of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane has a bromine atom and a methyl group both attached to the first carbon of the cyclohexane ring. 2. **Determine alpha and beta carbons**: The carbon with the bromine is the alpha carbon. The adjacent carbons in the cyclohexane ring are the beta carbons. ...
