Question

28. These two polymers are (A) tautomers. (B) constitutional isomers. (C) diastereomers. (D) structural isomers. 29. The rate law for this reaction is: Rate=k[R-ClICH,01 Na CH30, CH3OH 60 °C Cl 25% 75% What would be the anticipated result if this same elimination reaction was performed with potassium +-butoxide (CH),CO K') as the base? (A) 2-Methyl-1-pentene would be the major product. (B) 2-Methyl-2-pentene would be fo greater abundance. (C) The product distribution would remain the same. Only a bimolecular substitution reaction would occur.

Explanation / Answer

Ans. 28. C

Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another and are non-superimposable on one another.

29. A

Reason: Steric effect of bulky group

The bulky base has severe steric interactions with subtrate, increasing the energy the energy of transition state(and lowering the yield of Zaitsev product).
