(a)
Interpretation:
The line structure of the possible products for the reaction of 1-bromobutane with sodium ethoxide has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Line structure: Line structure is a simplest representation of a hydrocarbon. In line structure, the chain of carbon atoms is shown as a zigzag line. The end of each short line in the zigzag represents a carbon atom. Since the carbon nearly always has a valence of four in organic compounds, it is not necessary to show the hydrogen atoms.
Dehydrohalogenation of
Dehydrohalogenation of haloalkanes is one of the most commonly used methods to produce
(b)
Interpretation:
The line structure of the possible products for the reaction of 2-bromobutane with sodium ethoxide has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
