Which of the following is a elimination reaction?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A
Elimination reaction is an organic reaction in which two groups/substituents/ atoms are removed from a molecule.
Here in reaction (a), the water molecule is elimaneted from the reaction. Thus it is a eliminationn reaction.
In reaction (b), the water molecules gets added to the substrate. Thus it is a addition reaction.
In reaction (c), the CN− nucleophile replace the OH group on substrate. Hence, it is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Hence, (a) is the elimination reaction.
In general, Elimination reactions can be considered as the reverse of addition reactions
Based on leaving style of the substituents Elimination reactions are of two types
1. α− Elimination
2. β− Elimination
