(i) 2-bromobutane (ii) `CH_(3)CH_(2) C(CH_(3))_(2)Cl`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the main products when the given haloalkanes are treated with alcoholic KOH, we will follow a systematic approach for each compound. ### Step 1: Understanding the Reaction Alcoholic KOH acts as a strong base and promotes elimination reactions (E2 mechanism) rather than substitution reactions. This means that it will abstract a beta hydrogen and lead to the formation of alkenes. ### Step 2: Analyze 2-bromobutane **Structure of 2-bromobutane:** - The structure can be represented as: ...
