Chapter 8, Problem 8.43P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason as to why in the elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane with sodium ethoxide as base, but-2-ene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, but-2-ene constitutes only 67% of the products is to be explained.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, generally a strong, negatively charged base is involved. According to Zaitsev rule the more alkylated alkene is the major product.

Which alkene reacts with a red-brown solution of bromine to form 1,2-dibromo-1-ethylcyclohexane.
Draw the organic product obtained by hydroboration-oxidation of each of the following alkenes: (a) trans-2-pentene, (b) 2-tert-butyl-3,3-dimethyl-1- butene, and (c) 1-methylcyclohexene. Having done this, draw the product of the acid-catalyzed hydration of these same alkenes. How do the reaction products differ?
