When 2-methylbutane is treated with bromine and heat, several
products can be isolated. When the major product is treated with
sodium methoxide, two alkenes can be isolated, one more than the
other. When sodium t-butoxide is used instead of sodium methoxide,
the same two alkenes are formed, but in different proportions. Show
the alkene products that form, and indicate the major and minor
alkene for each reaction. What rules are illustrated here?
