The major product formed in the following reaction is CH ₃ CH ( Cl ) CH ₂- CH ₂ OH aq. KOH

Options

  1. ACH ₃ CH = CH - CH ₂ OH
  2. BCH ₂= CH - CH ₂- CH ₂ OH

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Halogenated compounds on treatment with aq. KOH form alcohols. The halogen atom is substituted by - OH group. aligned & CH ₃ CH ( Cl ) CH ₂- CH ₂ OH aq. KOH & CH ₃ CH ( OH ) CH ₂- CH ₂ OH aligned Here OH ⁻ acts as a nucleophile.
