The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the isomeric alkenes that can be formed from the alkyl halide with the formula `C6H13Br` when treated with potassium t-butoxide. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Alkyl Halide Structure**: The alkyl halide has the formula `C6H13Br`. This indicates that it is a six-carbon compound with a bromine atom. The possible structures for this alkyl halide can be: - 1-bromo-hexane (linear structure) - 2-bromo-pentane (branched structure) - 3-bromo-pentane (branched structure) - 2-bromo-2-methylbutane (more branched structure) For the purpose of forming dimethyl alkenes, we will focus on the branched structures. 2. **Determine the Reaction with Potassium t-Butoxide**: Potassium t-butoxide is a strong, bulky base that favors elimination reactions (E2 mechanism). The elimination will lead to the formation of alkenes. 3. **Possible Elimination Products**: - From 2-bromo-pentane: - Elimination can occur to form 2-methyl-2-pentene (major product due to more substituted double bond). - Elimination can also occur to form 2-methyl-1-pentene (minor product). - From 3-bromo-pentane: - Elimination can lead to the formation of 2-methyl-2-pentene (major product). - Elimination can also lead to 3-methyl-1-pentene (minor product). 4. **Identify the Isomeric Alkenes**: The two isomeric alkenes that can be formed from the elimination reaction are: - 2-methyl-2-pentene - 2-methyl-1-pentene 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the isomeric alkenes formed from the alkyl halide `C6H13Br` upon treatment with potassium t-butoxide are 2-methyl-2-pentene and 2-methyl-1-pentene. ### Final Answer: The isomeric alkenes are **2-methyl-2-pentene and 2-methyl-1-pentene**.
