AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of identifying all possible alkenes formed from the dehydrohalogenation of the given organic halides with alcoholic KOH, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze 1-Chloropentane 1. **Structure**: 1-Chloropentane can be represented as CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2Cl. 2. **Dehydrohalogenation**: The base (OH-) will abstract a hydrogen atom from the adjacent carbon, leading to the formation of an alkene. 3. **Possible Alkene**: The only possible alkene formed is: - Pent-1-ene (CH3-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2). 4. **Major Alkene**: Since there is only one product, pent-1-ene is the major product. ...
