Q. End product of the following reaction is :
$C H_{3} C H_{2} COO H Cl X_{2} red P$
$alcoholic KOH$

$C H_{3} O ∣ H C H COO H$

$O ∣ H C H_{2} C H_{2} COO H$

$C H_{2} = C H COO H$

$C ∣ l C H_{2} O ∣ H C H COO H$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} COO H Cl X_{2} red p < br / > (HVZ reaction) C H_{3} C ∣ l C H COO H$

$alcoholic KOH (elimination) Acrylic acid C H_{2} = C H COO H$
