(c) $CH _3 CH=C=CH _2$
(d) $CH _3 CH _2 C \equiv CH$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 8. (d)
Solution:
Key Idea Both alc. $KOH$ and $NaNH _2$ in liquid $NH _3$ are dehydrohalogenating reagents. On comparative terms $NaNH _2 /$ liquid $NH _3$ is stronger in action.
The reaction proceeds as :
Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
