β-Elimination or anti-elimination reaction is carried out with base (B..⊖) as shown. The following bases are used. (I)⊖OH(II)RO⊖(III)RCOO⊖(IV)⊖CN(V)NO⊖3 The decreasing order of reactivity for the above elimination is :
A
(II)>(I)>(IV)>(III)>(V)

Solution
The correct option is B(II)>(I)>(IV)>(III)>(V) The reagent should be a strong bronsted base. Acidic order: HNO3>RCOOH>HCN>H2O>ROH Basic order : NO⊖3<RCOO⊖<CN⊖<⊖OH<RO⊖ Decreasing order of basicities and hence β-elimination is : (II)>(I)>(IV)>(V).
