The alcoholic solution ofKOHis used in which type of the organic reactions?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

CH3CH2Br+alcKOH→dehydrohalogenationCH2=CH2+KBr+H2O

In alcoholic KOH alkoxide ionsRO-are present which is a strong base. They abstract proton from beta carbon of alkyl halide and favours elimination reaction

ROH+KOH→ROK+H2O

ROK→RO-+K+

RO-+H-CH2β-CH2α-Br→ROH+CH2=CH2+Br-
