    When  2-bromobutane   reacts  with alcoholic \[KOH,\]the reaction is

    A)  hydrogenation

    B)  halogenation

    C)  dehydro halogenation

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{Br}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[(-HBr)]{alc.\,KOH}\] \[\underset{Butene-1}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=CH-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] 2-bromobutane on reaction with ale. \[KOH\] eliminates \[HBr\]. Therefore, this reaction is known as dehydrohalogenation.
