The following reaction `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-underset(X)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)underset(underset(-H_(2)O, -KX)(KOH))overset("Alcoholic")rarr CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)=overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)` is an example ofA. `alpha`-eliminationB. `beta`-eliminationC. Hofmann eliminationD. None of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - B It involves removal of hydrogen atom from a carbon adjacent `(beta)` to the one bearing the halogen `(alpha)`. So, it is a `beta`-elimination reaction in which more substituted (more stable) product is formed. Hofmann elimination gives the less substituted alkene. |
