1,1-Dibromoethane when heated with zinc dust produces

Options

A. Ethyl bromide
B. Ethene
C. Vinyl bromide
D. 2-Butene

Answer

D

Explanation

`underset("1-1-Dibromoethane")(CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-Br)+underset("1-1-Dibromoethane")(2Zn+Br-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-CH_(3))`
`underset(Delta)to underset("2-Butene")(CH_(3)-overset(H)overset(|)(C)=-overset(H)overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)) underset(-H_(3)BO_(3))overset(+3H_(2)O_(2)//OH^(-))to underset("1-Propanol")(3CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH)`
