Predict the $β -$ elimination product(s) formed when each chloroalkane is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. If two or more products might be formed predict which is the major product.

Open in App

Solution

There are two different $β$ point ions so,product will be two from two different $β$ elimination.
Refer to image.
Major is (I) because of more number of $α -$ hydrogen.
