how many di-substituted/tri-substituted alkenes will form?
« on: February 15, 2013, 01:09:36 AM »
I think there will be 2 di substituted and 3 tri substituted but i just want to confirm this. After the carbocation rearangment there will be 2 di substituted alkenes coming from the CH3 groups forming a double bond and the 3 tri substituted alkenes right?
