Question

Sapling Learning Consider the three alkoxide bases: methoxide, ethoxide, and tert-butoxide. In what way is the reactivity of tert-butoxide different from the others in elimination reactions? methoxide ethoxide tert-butoxide tert-butoxide has more steric bulk than the others so it is more likely to make the Hofmann elimination product. O elimination reactions. weaker base than the others and so doesn't perform tert-butoxide has more steric bulk than the others so it is more likely to make the Zaitsev elimination product. tert-butoxide is a much stronger base than the others and so only performs O E1 elimination reactions. Map

Explanation / Answer

Ans : A

tert-butoxide has more steric bulk than the others so it is more likely to make the Hoffmann elimination product.
