Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane in the presence of strong base (potassium tert-butoxide) which leads to the elimination of a hydrogen atom and a bromide ion from the adjacent carbon atoms, resulting in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond. This gives rise to only one major product, which is 2-methyl-2-butene.
