Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Question 210
Question: The major product of the following reaction is: $ C_6H_5CH_2-\underset{Br}{\overset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}}}-CH_2-CH_3\xrightarrow[C_2H_5OH]{C_2H_5ONa} $
Options:
A) $ C_6H_5CH_2-\underset{OC_2H_5}{\overset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}}}-CH_2-CH_3 $
B) $ C_6H_5CH=\underset{CH_3}{\overset{{}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{{}}{\mathop{C}}}}}}-CH_2-CH_3 $
C) $ C_6H_5CH_2-\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}}}=CHCH_3 $
D) $ C_6H_5CH_2-\underset{CH_2CH_3}{\overset{{}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{{}}{\mathop{C}}}}}}=CH_2 $
