Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-Br\xrightarrow{alc\text{.}KOH}\underset{\text{(A)}}{\mathop{CH_3-CH=CH_2}} $
$ \underset{\text{Propan-2-ol}}{\mathop{\begin{matrix} CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3\xleftarrow{aq.KOH} \\ \overset{|}{\mathop{OH}} \\ \end{matrix} }}\begin{matrix} CH_3-CH(Br)-CH_3 \\ \overset{|}{\mathop{Br}} \\ \end{matrix} $
