Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides to ...

Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides to form alkenes is promoted (or catalyzed) by

A

a base

B

an acid

C

both and acid as well as a base

D

neither an acid nor a base

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Heating the alkyl halide with a strong base causes the reaction to take place:
`(CH_(3))_(3)CBrunderset(C_(2)H_(5)OH,55^(@)C)overset(C_(2)H_(5)OK)rarr(CH_(3))_(2)C=CH_(2)+KBr+C_(2)H_(5)OH`
