Question 76 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 16 of 30, Section A.

Identify the correct statement for the below given transformation. CH3−CH2−CH2−CH−CH3\mathrm{CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH-CH_3} with N⊕(CH3)3\mathrm{N^{\oplus}(CH_3)_3} on the CH carbon →C2H5OHC2H5ONa\xrightarrow[\mathrm{C_2H_5OH}]{\mathrm{C_2H_5ONa}} A (Major) + B (Minor)
  1. (1)A - CH3CH2CH=CH−CH3\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH=CH-CH_3}, B - CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2CH=CH_2}, Saytzeff products
  2. (2)A - CH3CH2CH=CH−CH3\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH=CH-CH_3}, B - CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2CH=CH_2}, Hofmann products
  3. (3)A - CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2CH=CH_2}, B - CH3CH2CH=CHCH3\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH=CHCH_3}, Hofmann productsOfficial answer
  4. (4)A - CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2CH=CH_2}, B - CH3CH2CH=CHCH3\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH=CHCH_3}, Saytzeff products
