    \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-Cl\xrightarrow{ale.\text{ }KOH}A,\]the product is:

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OK\]      

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Alkyl halides undergoes\[\beta -\]elimination in presence of alcoholic KOH, to give unsaturated hydrocarbons. This is also called dehydrodehalogenation of alkyl halides. \[C{{H}_{3}}.C{{H}_{2}}Cl\xrightarrow{alc.\text{ }KOH}\underset{ethylene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]\[+KCl+{{H}_{2}}O\]
