Question

what is the action of AQ koh on ethyl iodite ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Iodide is good leaving group and hydroxyl will attact at the alpha carbon (carbon bonded to iodine in this case) from the back (donating its electron pair into antibonding orbital of C-I bond)

Answer 2

Answer:hello there, Now I'm going to give the answer but before that, the question should have been like "what is the action aqueous KOH on ethyl iodide. but it's OK.

Explanation: SN2 substitution, iodide is a good leaving group and hydroxyl will attack the at the alpha carbon from the back(from it's electron pair into anti-bonding orbital)

C-OH bond making and C-1 bond breaking will happen in the same time. In aqueous conditions attack happens at the alpha carbon and leads to substitution and in alcoholic conditions with a strong base, elimination product is expected.

Hope you got the ANSWERS.
