Q 11.20: What is the product of the reaction between t-BuCl and MeOH? A : t-BuOH B : MeOCl C : t-BuOMe D : (CH3)2CCH2

Respuesta :

Answer:

C : t-BuOMe

Explanation:

The tert -butanol is a tertiary alcohol and when chloride ion attacks the carbocation, it forms t-BuCl.

The reaction of tert-butyl chloride or t-BuCl ((CH3)3C−Cl) with methanol and MeOH (CH3−OH) gives the product tert-Butyl methyl ether or t-BuOMe (CH3)3C−OCH3:

                   (CH3)3C−Cl + CH3−OH => (CH3)3C−OCH3 + HCl

Hence, the correct asnwer is C : t-BuOMe
