Q. A mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 2-chloro- butane when treated with alcoholic KOH gives

VMMC MedicalVMMC Medical 2008

Solution:

On treatment with alcoholic KOH, 1-chlorobutane gives 1-butene while 2-chlorobutane gives 2-butene (major) 4-1-butene (minor). Therefore, a mixture of 1-butene + 2-butene is formed.
