Among the following organic halides in the increasing order of their dehydrohalogenation reactions in the presence of alcoholic KOH CH ₃ CH ₂ Br (A) CH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂ Br (B) CH ₃ CH ( Br ) CH ₃ (C) ( CH ₃ )₃ CBr (D)
Options
- AA < B < C < D
- BD < B < C < A
- CA < C < B < D
- DB < A < C < D
Correct answer
A. A < B < C < D
Step-by-step solution
The elimination reaction (dehydrohalogenation) is favoured by those substrates that form a more stable carbocation intermediate. Thus, the order of reactivity will be :-
