The reaction, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{I}+\mathrm{KOH}(a q) \longrightarrow\) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{KI}\) is classified as
- A electrophilic substitution
- B nucleophilic substitution
- C electrophilic addition
- D nucleophilic addition
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) nucleophilic substitution
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkyl halides are hydrolysed to corresponding alcohols by boiling with aqueous alkali solution ( \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) or \(\mathrm{KOH}\) ). \[ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{I}+\mathrm{KOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{KI} \] This is…
