Hydrocarbons Question 290
Question: Major product of the following reaction is $ CH_3\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{Br}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{-C-}}}}}}}}CH_2-CH_3+alco.KOH\to $ [MP PMT 1986]
Options:
A) Butene-1
B) Butene-2
C) Butane
D) Butyne-1
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ CH_3-\overset{\overset{Br}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{CH}}-CH_2-CH_3+\underset{( alc )}{\mathop{KOH}}\to $
$ \underset{\text{Butene-2}}{\mathop{CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3}}+KBr+H_2O $
