    Alkyl halide can be converted into alkene by :

    A)  nucleophilic substitution reaction

    B)  elimination reaction

    C)  both nucleophilic substitution and elimination reaction

    D)  rearrangement

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: \[R-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}X+KOH(alc)\xrightarrow{{}}\]                  \[R-CH=C{{H}_{2}}+K\,X+{{H}_{2}}O\] Alkyl halide undergo \[\beta \]-elimination to form alkene                 \[\therefore \] Elimination reaction is correct choice. (i) Nucleophilic substitution reaction is used to convert alcohol into alkyl halide. (ii) In rearrangement reaction one molecule changes into other via internal changes.
