Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The major product of the reaction between alkyl bromide and sodium methoxide in acetone is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
In order to predict the outcome of a given reaction, four factors are considered.
First is to determine if the substrate molecule has a suitable leaving group. If the leaving group is suitable, evaluate the type of carbon bonded to the leaving group. For an
