The following reaction CH(3)-underset(...

The following reaction
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-underset(X)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)underset(underset(-H_(2)O, -KX)(KOH))overset("Alcoholic")rarr CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)=overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)`
is an example of

A

`alpha`- elmination

B

`beta`- elimination

C

Hofmann elimination

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
It involves removal of hydrogen atom from a carbon adjacent `(beta)` to the one bearing the halogen `(alpha)` So, it is a `beta`- elimination reaction in which more substituted (more stable) product is formed. Hofmann elimination gives the less substituted alkene.
