Name the alkene formed when ethyl bromide is heated with alcoholic KOH.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Ethane or Ethylene or `CH_(2) = CH_(2) or C_(2)H_(4)`
In this reaction two atoms are lost from reactant ethyl bromide to form carbon-carbon double bond. This is an elemination reaction and product formed as ethene `(CH_(2) = CH_(2))`
`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-H underset(Delta)overset("Alc. KOH")to H-underset("Ethene")(overset(H)overset(|)(C))-H+KBr+H_(2)O`
