Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \([\mathrm{A}]=2\)-Phenylpropene
\([\mathrm{B}]=2\)-Phenyl-1- bromopropane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The starting material is 2-phenyl-2-bromopropane, which is a tertiary alkyl halide. Treatment with alcoholic KOH under heating conditions leads to a dehydrohalogenation reaction via the E2 mechanism. The elimination of HBr from 2-phenyl-2-bromopropane results in the formation of…
