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 $
