MHT CET2010ChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
Ethanolic KOH gives
Options
- Adehalogenation reactions
- Bdehydrogenation reactions
- Cdehydrohalogenation reactions
- Dsubstitution reactions
Correct answer
C. dehydrohalogenation reactions
Step-by-step solution
Ethanolic KOH removes hydrogen and halogen atoms from a haloalkane, thus it is a dehydrohalogenating reagent and gives the same type of reactions.
