Which of the following organohalogen compound when heated with alcoholic KOH does not undergo dehydrohalogenation reaction :

A

Secondary butyl chloride

B

Neopentyl chloride

C

Isobutyl chloride

D

Tertiary butyl chloride

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since neopetyl chloride does not have a `beta`-hydrogen, therefore, dehydrohalogenation

by `E_(2)` mechanism does not occur.
