    The reaction of 2-bromobutane with alcoholic KOH is known as:

    A)  halogenation

    B)  hydrogenation

    C)  dehydrogenation

    D)  dehydrohalogenation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Br \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}+KOH(alc.)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[{{H}_{2}}C=\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-H\] \[{{H}_{2}}O+KBr+C{{H}_{3}}-CH=CH+C{{H}_{3}}\] \[\because \]In this reaction hydrogen as well as halogen is removed. \[\therefore \]It is dehydrohalogenation reaction.
