Question
Wired Faculty App

Give an example of elimination reaction shown by haloalkanes.

Answer

Elimination reaction shown by haloalkanes: When haloalkanes with β-hydrogen atom is heated with alcoholic solution of potassium hydroxide, there is elimination of hydrogenvatom from β-carbon and a halogen atom from the α-carbon atom.
As a result, an alkene is formed as a product.
