Q. Alkyl halide can be converted into alkene by
A) Nucleophilic substitution reaction
B) Elimination reaction
C) Both nucleophilic substitution and elimination reaction
D) Rearrangement
Explanation
(b)
$R - CH_{2} - CH_{2}X + KOH(alc.) \longrightarrow R - CH = CH_{2} + K\ X + H_{2}O$
Alkyl halid undergo $\beta$-elimination to form alkene.
