    Which of the following reactions can be used for the synthesis of an alkene?

    A)  Chugaev reaction

    B)  Dakin reaction

    C)  Reimer-Tiemann reaction

    D)  Wurtz-Fittig reaction

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Dehydration of primary alcohols with alkoxide and \[C{{S}_{2}}\] to give terminal alkenes is called Chugaev elimination. During this reaction xanthate is formed as intermediate which finally on pyrolysis gives olefin, COS and the thiol. \[\underset{H\,\,OH}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{-C-C}}\,-}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow{RONa/\,C{{S}_{2}}}\underset{H\underset{S}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{O-C-SMe}}\,}}\,}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{-C-C}}\,-}}\,}}\,\]\[\xrightarrow[\begin{smallmatrix}  Chugaev \\  reaction \end{smallmatrix}]{100-{{250}^{o}}C}\overset{||}{\mathop{-C=C-}}\,+COS+MeSH\]
