What are the products of dehydrohalogenation of 2- iodopentane ?
A.2-Pentene (major), 1-Pentene (minor)✓ Correct
B.1-Pentene (major), 2-Pentene (minor)
C.2-Pentene (50%), 1-Pentene (50%)
D.None of these.
Explanation
As per shown reaction, 2- pentene is more alkylated product than 1- pentene. Therefore, according to Saytzeff rule more alkylated alkene is more stable due to the presence of more alpha- hydrogens. Therefore, 2- pentene is the major product. 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 2 2 2 3 HI CH CHI CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH CH ->
