Question

define dehydrohalogenation
with reaction​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Dehydrohalogenation is an elimination reaction that eliminates (removes) a hydrogen halide from a substrate. The reaction is usually associated with the synthesis of alkenes, but it has wider applications.

Answer 2

Answer:

Dehydrohalogenation

Explanation:

** The term dehydrohalogenation means the removal of hydrogen and a halogen group.

** It would be more precise if we write it as beta- dehydrohalogenation because the hydrogen gets removed from the beta carbon(which is the carbon atom next to the carbon to which the halogen is attached). it only takes place in alkyl halides.

** The reagent used is alcoholic KOH.

** The product is an alkene.
