  • question_answer
    \[R-C{{H}_{2}}-CC{{l}_{2}}-R\xrightarrow{\text{Reagent}}R-C\equiv C-R\] The reagent is [CBSE PMT 1989; MP PET 1995]

    A) Na

    B) \[HCl\text{ and }{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C) \[KOH\text{ in }{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    D) Zn

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[R-C{{H}_{2}}-CC{{l}_{2}}-R\xrightarrow{KOH\,+\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}\]\[R-C\equiv C-R+2\,HCl\] This reaction is an example of dehydrohalogenation Hence, alcoholic \[KOH\]is used as a reagent.
