The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the structure of 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene has the following structure: ``` CH3 | CH3 - C = C - CH3 | CH3 ``` ### Step 2: Reaction with Bromine When 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene reacts with bromine (Br2), it undergoes an addition reaction, resulting in the formation of 2,3-Dibromo-2,3-dimethylbutane. The bromine atoms add across the double bond: ``` CH3 | CH3 - C - Br - CH3 | Br ``` ### Step 3: Reaction with Alcoholic KOH Next, when 2,3-Dibromo-2,3-dimethylbutane is treated with alcoholic KOH, an elimination reaction occurs. Alcoholic KOH acts as a strong base and removes a hydrogen atom from one of the carbons adjacent to the bromine, leading to the formation of a double bond: 1. The base abstracts a hydrogen atom from one of the carbon atoms adjacent to the bromine. 2. The electrons from the C-H bond form a double bond between the two carbon atoms, and the bromine leaves. This results in the formation of a compound with a double bond: ``` CH3 | CH3 - C = C - CH3 ``` ### Step 4: Identify the Major Product The major product formed after the elimination reaction is 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene: ``` CH3 | CH3 - C = C - CH3 | CH3 ``` ### Final Answer The major product formed when 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene is reacted with bromine and then treated with alcoholic KOH is **2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene**. ---

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the structure of 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene has the following structure: ``` CH3 | ...
