Question
2-Methyl propyl bromide reacts with C2H5O– and gives ‘A’ whereas on reaction with C2H5OH it gives ‘B'. The mechanism followed in these reactions and the products ‘A’ and ‘B’ respectively are: (A) SN1, A = tert-butyl ethyl ether; SN2, B = iso-butyl ethyl ether (B) SN2, A = 2-butyl ethyl ether; SN2, B = iso-butyl ethyl ether (C) SN2, A = iso-butyl ethyl ether; SN1 B = tert-butyl ethyl ether (D) SN1, A = tert-butyl ethyl ether; SN1 B = 2-butyl ethyl ether
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Br EtO– EtOH SN2 SN1 OEt OC2H5
