Answer» cThe geminal dihalides are boiled with AQUEOUS KOH or NaOH. It produces aldehydes and ketones. geminal dihalide (R-CHX2) having two halogen atoms situated on terminal carbon ATOM, are hydrolysed by aq. KOH or aq. NaOH FIRST produced a unstable dihydroxy compound. Then converts into an aldehyde by loss of water molecule. 1-1- dichloroethane is GERMINAL dihalide which REACT with KOH and produce unstable hydroxyl compound then loss of water molecule acetaldehyde produce See the attachment for reaction. |
