The major product in the reaction CH3-C(CH3)2-Cl + K+ -O-C(CH3)3 -> ?

1. t-Butyl ethyl ether
2. 2,2-Dimethyl butane
3. 2-Methyl pent-1-ene
4. 2-Methyl prop-1-ene

Correct answer: 2-Methyl prop-1-ene

Solution

The reaction involves an elimination mechanism where the chloride leaves, and a double bond forms between the adjacent carbon atoms, resulting in the formation of 2-Methyl prop-1-ene as the major product.
