The reaction of t-butyl chloride and sodium ethoxide gies mainly :

Answer»

t-butyl ethyl ether
2, 2-dimethylbutane
2-methyl prop-1-ene
isopropyl-n-propyl ether

Solution :The nucleophile `-OC_(2)H_(5)` cannot attack at the carbon of `-UNDERSET(|)OVERSET(|)(C)-Cl` BOND due to steric hindrance. Hence,ELIMINATION reactionoccurs.
