help on elimination reactions of halogenalkanes
What 2 isomeric alkenes are formed when 2-bromo-3methylbutane reacts with ethanolic potassium hydroxide? I cant seem to work this out as i keep drawing out the mechanism but not getting any 2 isomeric alkenes! do these have to be geometric?
thanks
thanks

ethanolic KOH, results in formation of alkene - its an elimination
and since the bromo must be eliminated, the double bond could end up either side of the 2-carbon. so you'd get:
3-methylbut-1-ene
3-methylbut-2-ene
i think so anyway
