Neopentyl bromide, undergoes dehydrohalo...

Neopentyl bromide, undergoes dehydrohalogenation to give alkenes even though it has no hydrogen. This is due to

A

E2 mechanism

B

E1 mechanism

C

Rearrangement of carbocations by E1 mechanism

D

E1 cB mechanism

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Neopentyl bromide give a carbocation as intermediate which undergo for rearrangement and show `E_(1)` mechanism (even has no `beta-H` atom). Thus (c ) is the correct option.
