Dehydrohalogenation involves removal of the halogenn atom together with a hydrogen atom from carbon adjacent to the one with halogen atom. Alcoholic KOH is used for dehydrohalogenation. According to saytzeff's rule, when two alkenes may be formed, the alkene which is most substituted is the major product. Q. What are the products of dehydrohalogenation of 2-iodopentane?

1.	Dehydrohalogenation involves removal of the halogenn atom together with a hydrogen atom from carbon adjacent to the one with halogen atom. Alcoholic KOH is used for dehydrohalogenation. According to saytzeff's rule, when two alkenes may be formed, the alkene which is most substituted is the major product. Q. What are the products of dehydrohalogenation of 2-iodopentane?
Answer» 2-Pentene(major),1-Pentene (minor) 1-Pentene (major), 2-Pentene (minor) 2-Pentene (50%), 1-Pentene (50%) NONE of these Solution :`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-UNDERSET(I)underset(\|)(C)H-CH_(3) overset("ALC. KOH")to` `underset("2-Pentene (major)")(CH_(3)CH_(2)-CH=CH-CH_(3))+underset("1-Pentene (minor)")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-CH=CH_(2))`
