JEE PYQ: Haloalkanes And Haloarenes Question 27
Question 27 - 2019 (12 Jan Shift 1)
The major product of the following reaction is:
$\text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{C}(\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3)(\text{COOCH}_2\text{CH}_3)(-\text{Cl}) \xrightarrow{\text{NaOEt}/\Delta}$
(1) $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}_2$ with $\text{CO}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3$
(2) $\text{CO}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3$ substituted product with $\text{CH}_3=\text{CHCH}_3$
(3) $\text{OCH}_2\text{CH}_3$ substituted product with $\text{COOCH}_2\text{CH}_3$
(4) Different stereochemistry product
