Which one of the following reagents is not suitable for the elimination reaction?

Options

A $NaI$
B $NaOEt / EtOH$
C $NaOH / {H}_{2}O, ∆$
D $NaOH / {H}_{2}O - EtOH$

Correct answer

A. $NaI$

Step-by-step solution

To get the desired product, an elimination reaction needs to occur.

For an elimination reaction, a strong base $( \overset{−}{O} \text{Et,}\overset{−}{O} \text{H} )$ needed. Because $I^{−}$ is not basic, $\text{NaI}$ is not suitable for the following reaction.

Which one of the following reagents is not suitable for the elimination reaction?

With $NaI,$ substitution takes place.
