Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To convert tert-butyl chloride to 2-methylpropene, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants and Products - **Reactant:** Tert-butyl chloride (C4H9Cl) - **Product:** 2-methylpropene (C4H8) ### Step 2: Understand the Mechanism The conversion involves an elimination reaction. We will use alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the base to facilitate this reaction. ...
