Solution
(A) When polyhalogenated alkanes are heated with alc. KOH, a polyhalogenated alkene is obtained. This is a dehydrohalogenation reaction. A carbanion is formed as the reaction intermediate. (B) Tert− butyl alcohol on dehydration forms 2-methyl-2-butene. A carbocation is formed as the reaction intermediate. (C) Dehydrobromination of ethyl bromide (on heating with alcoholic KOH) forms ethylene. A transition state is present but no intermediate is formed. (D) Dehydrobromination of tert butyl bromide (on heating with alcoholic KOH) forms 2-methyl-2-butene. A carbocation is formed as the reaction intermediate.
