Vedclass · Answer

(B) Dehydrohalogenation is the elimination of a hydrogen atom and a halogen atom from adjacent carbon atoms to form an alkene. This reaction requires a haloalkane (alkyl halide) with at least one $\beta$-hydrogen atom. $a)$ $Iso-propyl$ bromide $(CH_3CH(Br)CH_3)$ has $\beta$-hydrogens and can undergo dehydrohalogenation. $b)$ Ethanol $(CH_3CH_2OH)$ is an alcohol,not a haloalkane,and therefore cannot undergo dehydrohalogenation. $c)$ Ethyl bromide $(CH_3CH_2Br)$ has $\beta$-hydrogens and can undergo dehydrohalogenation. Thus,the correct answer is $B$.

Which of the following compounds cannot undergo dehydrohalogenation?
