What are the boiling points of the two products of the elimination reaction? 2-m

Question

What are the boiling points of the two products of the elimination reaction? 2-methyl-l-butene: ____ degree C 2-methyl-2-butene: ____ degree C Imagine that you run a mixture of the methylbutene products through GC and you find two large peaks. One peak has a retention time of 2.52 minutes and the other peak has a retention time of 2.58 minutes. What is likely the identity of the compound responsible for the First Peak? (Circle one) 2-methyl- -butene 2-methyl-2-butene What is likely the identity of the compound responsible for the Second Peak? (Circle one) 2-methyl- -butene 2-methyl-2-butene Which peak will most likely have the largest area for the... Elimination with KOH? (Circle one) Peak 1 Peak 2 Equal Areas Elimination with tBuOK? (Circle one) Peak 1 Peak 2 Equal Areas

Explanation / Answer

Low boiling compound will have less retion time. According to the question, 2-Methyl-1-butene is having 31.2 low boiling compound as retiontion time will be 2.52 minutes.

so

2-Methyl-1-butene is responsible for first Peak

High boiling compound will have more retion time. According to the question, 2-Methyl-2-butene is having 37.5-38.5 high boiling compound as retiontion time will be 2.58 minutes.

so

2-Methyl-2-butene is responsible for second peak.

2. The amount of area based on concentration of the compound. more compound will have large area.

therefore both the cases (KOH and t BuOK) wil have equal areas of the peak
