draw the major and minor product when the following alkyl halide is heated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. you may neglect cis-trans isomerism of the products when answering this question. if there is only one product, click no reaction for the minor product.

Answer :

The major product is 3-methyl-2-pentene and the minor product is 2-ethyl-1-butene.

The alkyl halide shown is 3-bromo-3-methyl pentane. We can see that it is a tertiary alkyl halide. The proportion of products formed during the reaction are determined by Markovnikov rule.

The two products of this reaction are; 3-methyl-2-pentene and 2-ethyl-1-butene. The major product is 3-methyl-2-pentene because it is formed from a more stable carbocation intermediate.  2-ethyl-1-butene is the minor product.
