What is the order of ease of dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides?
Options
- A3^ 2^ 1^
- B2^ 1^ 3^
- C3^ 1^ 2^
- D1^ 2^ 3^
Correct answer
A. 3^ 2^ 1^
Step-by-step solution
According to Saytzeff elimination, the ease of dehydrohalogenation depends on the stability of the alkyl substituted alkenes which is given as, R ₂ C = CR ₂ R ₂ C = CHR R ₂ C = CH ₂, RCH = CHR RCH = CH ₂ The ease of , -dehydrohalogenation is: 3^ 2^ 1^
