For the reaction below,how many different organic products would be expected?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves a substitution reaction of a tertiary alkyl halide with a strong nucleophile. Due to the steric hindrance of the tertiary carbon, the nucleophile can attack from different angles and produce two possible products - one where the nucleophile replaces one of the three identical methyl groups (yielding a primary amine) and another where the nucleophile replaces the halogen (yielding a secondary amine). Therefore, we can expect two different organic products.
