1.	2-Bromopentane is treated with alcoholic KOH solution. Whatt will be the major product formed in this reaction and what is the type of elimination called?
Answer» Pent-1-ene, `beta`-Elimination<BR>Pent-2-ene, `beta`-elimination Pent-1-ene, Nucleophilic substitution Pent-2-ene, Nucleophilic substitution. Solution :`underset("2-Bromopentane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)-CH_(2)-) underset(Br)underset(\|)(C)H-CH_(3) underset(-HBR" "(beta-"elimination"))overset("alc. KOH")to CH_(3)-underset("2-Pentene")(CH_(2)-CH=CH-CH_(3))`.
