Solution
The correct option is D All of the above The given reaction is CH3CHBrCH2CH3alc.KOH⟶CH3CH=CHCH3(major product)+CH2=CHCH2CH3(minor product)
When alkyl halide is heated in presence of alcoholic KOH it undergo dehydrohalogenation to give highly substituted alkene as a major product according to the saytzeff rule. This reaction is a β− Elimination reaction.
