What is the major product for the following reaction? CH3(CH2)4CI +NAOCH3 CH3(CH2)40CH3 CH3(CH2)30CH3 CH3(CH2)4CH3 CH3(CH2)3CH3 CH3(CH2)40CH2CH3

Respuesta :

Answer:

The major product is [tex]CH_{3}(CH_{2})_{4}OCH_{2}CH_{3}[/tex]

Explanation:

  • [tex]NaOCH_{3}[/tex] is a strong nucleophile.
  • It gives substitution nucleophile bimolecular (SN2) reaction with the given straight chain alkyl halide.
  • Cl acts as a leaving group during this substitution reaction.
  • An ether is formed as a major product in this substitution reaction.
  • Formation of major product has been shown below.
