Q19 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (07 Jan Shift 1) · Chemistry

Consider the following reactions:
a CH33CCHOHCH3→conc.H2SO4
b CH32CHCHBrCH3→alc.KOH
c CH32CHCHBrCH3→CH33O⊖K⊕
d Figure

Which of the reaction(s) will not produce Saytzeff product?

  • A
    a,c and d
  • B
    d only
  • Correct answer
    C
    c only
  • D
    b and d

Solution

Figure

We have to know that a Saytzeff product is basically an alkene compound which has undergone many substitution reactions to form the alkene product. From Saytzeff rule, a stable alkene is formed when removal of hydrogen from beta carbon has a low number of hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
