Elimination reaction of 2 -Bromo-pentane to form pent- 2 -ene is (a) β -Elimination reaction (b) Follows…
(a) -Elimination reaction
(b) Follows Zaitsev rule
(c) Dehydrohalogenation reaction
(d) Dehydration reaction
- (a), (c), (d)
- (b), (c), (d)
- (a), (b), (d)
- (a), (b), (c)
Solution
- This reaction is an example of -elimination.
- Hydrogen is removed from -carbon and halogen from -carbon, hence, dehydrohalgoenation reaction.
- Generally in reaction Zaitsev alkene is formed as major product (more stable alkene).
