Dehydrohalogenation

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $(C)$.Alcoholic $KOH$ contains alkoxide ions $(RO^-)$,which act as strong bases.These ions abstract a proton from the $\beta$-carbon of an alkyl halide,leading to an elimination reaction known as dehydrohalogenation.The reaction is: $CH_3-CH_2-Br + KOH_{(alc)} \xrightarrow{\Delta} CH_2=CH_2 + KBr + H_2O$.Mechanism:$ROH + KOH 	o ROK + H_2O$$ROK 	o RO^- + K^+$$RO^- + H-CH_2(\beta)-CH_2(\alpha)-Br 	o ROH + CH_2=CH_2 + Br^-$
