The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given reaction step by step. The reaction involves a compound with a bromine atom (Br) that is likely undergoing elimination to form an alkene. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure**: The starting compound is CH₃-CH(CH₃)-C(CH₃)-CH₂-Br. This structure indicates that we have a bromine atom attached to a carbon that is also connected to other carbon atoms. **Hint**: Visualize the structure of the compound to understand the positioning of the bromine and the surrounding groups. 2. **Heat the Compound**: The reaction is heated, which suggests that an elimination reaction (dehydrohalogenation) will occur. The bromine atom will leave, and a hydrogen atom will be removed from an adjacent carbon, leading to the formation of a double bond. **Hint**: Remember that heating often promotes elimination reactions, leading to the formation of alkenes. 3. **Formation of Carbocation**: When the bromine leaves, a carbocation is formed. Since the bromine is on a primary carbon, this carbocation is initially a primary carbocation. **Hint**: Identify the type of carbocation formed after the elimination of Br. 4. **Carbocation Rearrangement**: Primary carbocations are less stable than secondary or tertiary carbocations. Therefore, the primary carbocation will undergo rearrangement to form a more stable tertiary carbocation through a methyl shift. **Hint**: Consider the stability of carbocations and how they can rearrange to form more stable structures. 5. **Methyl Shift**: The methyl group from the adjacent carbon will shift to the carbon with the positive charge, converting the primary carbocation into a tertiary carbocation. **Hint**: Visualize the movement of the methyl group and how it affects the structure of the carbocation. 6. **Formation of Alkene**: The newly formed tertiary carbocation can now lose a proton (H⁺) to form an alkene. There are two possible positions from which the proton can be removed, leading to two different alkene products. **Hint**: Identify the two possible sites for proton removal and the resulting alkene structures. 7. **Identify the Major Product**: The two possible alkenes formed will have different degrees of substitution. The more substituted alkene is generally more stable due to hyperconjugation and the inductive effect. **Hint**: Compare the stability of the two alkenes formed to determine which one is the major product. ### Conclusion: The major product [X] will be the more stable alkene formed after the rearrangement and elimination reaction. ### Final Answer: The product [X] will be the more substituted alkene resulting from the elimination reaction.
