Question

2-chloro-2-methylpentane on reaction with sodium methoxide in methanol yields
(A) `C_(2)H_(5)CH_(2)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-OCH_(3)`
(B) `C_(2)H_(5)CH_(2)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)=CH_(2)`
(C) `C_(2)H_(5)CH=underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)-CH_(3)`
A. (A) and (C)
B. (C) only
C. (A) and (B)
D. All of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3) underset(MeOH)overset(MeONa)toCH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)=CH-CH_(2)-CH_(3)+CH_(2)=underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)+CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(OCH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
Elimination dominate over substitution in the given reaction but all the products are possible.
