Which one of the following reagents is not suitable for the elimination reaction?

A

NaI/acetone

B

NaOEt/EtOH

C

`NaOH/H_2O`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Alkyl chloride or bromide undergo substitution and get converted to an alkyl iodide on treatment with a solution of sodium iodide in acetone, e.g.
`CH_3CH_2CH_2Br+NaIoverset("acetone")rarrCH_3CH_2CH_2I+NaBr`
This reaction is also known as Finkelstein Reaction
