Question

Explain dehydrohallogenation

Answer 1

Hi AditiBeautiful ,
Here's your answer ...

removal of hydrogen and halogen form a given compound-----

de - removal
hydro - hydrogen
halo - halogen

hence it is called as dehydrohalogenation as both are removed from the compound
---------------------------------------
example :-

CH3 - CH2 - CH-Br - CH3 +KOH -----> CH3 - CH2 -CH2 - CH = CH2
+ CH3 - CH2 - CH=CH - CH3 + KBr + H2O

here 2 propene is the major product

The major and minor product can be understood by the Zaitsev's rule

the preferred product is that alkene which has the greater number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms...

Hope it helps..

Answer:

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.
