The total number of alkenes possible by dehydrobromination of 3-bromo-3-cyclopentylhexane using alcoholic `KOH` is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
5
3-Bromo-3-cyclopentylhexane has three different types of a-hydrogen atoms marked a, b and c and hence give three structurally isomeric alkenes. Two of these can exhibit geometrical isomerisms and therefore, the total number of alkenes possible are five.
