Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether hydroxide or tert-butoxide is required for the given transformation must be identified with explanation.
Concept Introduction :
Strong and bulky base like potassium tert-butoxide prefers to abstract proton from less hindered carbon. Thus, it produces less substituted
The smaller size bases like hydroxide abstracts proton from more hindered carbon. Thus, it produces more substituted alkene as the major (Saytzeff) product.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether hydroxide or tert-butoxide is required for the given transformation must be identified with explanation.
Concept Introduction :
The strong and bulky base like potassium tert-butoxide prefers to abstract proton from less hindered carbon. Thus, it produces less substituted alkene as the major (Hoffmann) product.
The smaller size bases like hydroxide abstracts proton from more hindered carbon. Thus, it produces more substituted alkene as the major (Saytzeff) product.
