Answers
The removal of two halogen atoms from adjacent c-atoms is called de- halogenation .
Explanation:
Halogen refers to : elements of group 17 (F,Cl,Br,I ).
Halo-alkanes :When they are attached to any alkane. Their number can vary .They be 2 or more atoms attached to same carbon or other carbon of same compound .
Vicinal dihalide : It is an type of haloalkane when two halogen are attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
Vicinal dihalide can undergo many reaction .Out of this elimination is also of one type .
Elimination reaction
• The reaction in which small molecule is removed .
• It mostly occurs in the presence of alc.KOH .
• It is of different types depending upon from which carbon the group is removed .
• Mostly, it is of Beta elimination
• The beta elimination shown by vicinal dihalide is given below :
CH₃-CHCl-CH₂Cl -----------------> Propene + Cl₂
(alc.KOH)
Removal of halogen from adjacent c atom is called as dehalogenation.
Explanation:
It is a kind of chemical reaction that takes place between carbon and hydrogen bond,results in the breakdown of hydrogen.
Dehalogenation are of 2 types called as reductive and hydro dehalogenation.
This reaction is associated with alkalenes.
