-propyl bromide on treating with alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\) produces

  1. A propane
  2. B propene
  3. C propyne
  4. D propanol
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) propene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\) is a dehydrohalogenating reagent, so when -propyl bromide is treated with alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\), propene is obtained.
\[
\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Br}+\text { alc } \mathrm{KOH} \longrightarrow
\]
n-propyl bromide
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}=\underset{\text { Propene }}{=} \mathrm{CH}_{2}+\mathrm{HBr}\)
