Answer:

c) 2-methylbut-1-enyl-benzene

Explanation:

From the information given:

Wittig reaction is essential for the creation of carbon-carbon bonds which results in the production of alkenes. The presence of the ketone compound ( 2-butanone) is because of its high electrophilic character of the carbonyl carbon. The reaction between 2-butanone with triethylamine in the presence of potassium salt is to catalyze the reaction. This reaction proceeds to yield the product 2-methylbut-1-enyl-benzene.
