Title: Byproducts of Organic Reaction
Post by: howardhoward on March 20, 2019, 10:27:31 AM

Hi just a quick question, just wondering what the byproduct of this reaction would be.

I think it might be CH₃Br but I am unsure.

Thanks.

It looks correct. You can search for articles on the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction for more details.
