1.	CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH underset("Red P")overset(Cl_(2))rarr A overset(Alc. KOH)rarr B what is B ?
Answer» `CH_(3)CH_(2)COCl` `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHO` `CH_(2) = CHCOOH` `ClCH_(2) CH_(2) COOH` Solution :`CH_(3)CH_(2) COOH underset(HVZ "reaction")overset(Cl_(2). "RED P")rarr CH_(3) - underset(Cl)underset(\|)(CH ) - COOH underset("Dehydrohalogenation")overset(alc. KOH)rarr CH_(2) = CH- COOH`
