Question

Experiment: E2 Elimination of 2-bromoheptane please hand written.

Q3: Because alcohol protons are reasonably acidic and easily undergo exchange, it is important that the
base be matched to the appropriate solvent. Explain why it would be virtually impossible to sort out the
factors in Q2 (above) if a reaction were carried out using methanol as the solvent and potassium t-
butoxide as the base. In your answer draw a mechanism using methanol and tert-butoxide to illustrate
your answer.
