Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction between a strong base/nucleophile like $CH_3ONa$ (sodium methoxide) and a tertiary alkyl halide like $(CH_3)_3CBr$ (tert-butyl bromide) proceeds primarily via an $E2$ elimination mechanism.Because the substrate is sterically hindered,the nucleophilic substitution $(S_N2)$ is suppressed.Therefore,the major product formed is the alkene,which is $2$-methylpropene (isobutylene).Thus,the correct option is $A$.

Which product is obtained from the reaction between $CH_3ONa$ and $(CH_3)_3CBr$?
