Haloalkanes and Haloarenes - Result Question 1

####1. Elimination reaction of 2-Bromo-pentane to form pent-2-ene is:

[2020]

(A) β-Elimination reaction

(B) Follows Zaitsev rule

(C) Dehydrohalogenation reaction

(D) Dehydration reaction

(a) (A), (C), (D)

(b) (B), (C), (D)

(c) (A), (B), (D)

(d) (A), (B), (C)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d)CC#CCC(C)Br

2-Bromo-pentane

CH3CH=CHCH2CH3

Mechanism :

It is an β elimination reaction as β hydrogen is abstracted and results more substituted alkene, which follows Zaitsev’s rule.

Since ’ H ’ and ’ Br ’ are removed, it is dehydrohalogenation.
