The major product of the following reaction is:
The major product of the following reaction is:
Show Hint
- 2-Phenylhepta-2,4-diene
- 6-Phenylhepta-3,5-diene
- 6-Phenylhepta-2,4-diene
- 2-Phenylhepta-2,5-diene
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The given reaction involves a dehydrohalogenation process, where a halogen (Br) is eliminated in the presence of an excess base, KOH in ethanol. This reaction typically leads to the formation of alkenes by the elimination of H and Br atoms.
Since the reagent is in excess, it leads to a conjugated diene product.
The elimination occurs in such a way that the resulting product has two double bonds conjugated with the phenyl group.
The correct product formed in this reaction is 6-Phenylhepta-2,4-diene, as it has the conjugation in positions 2 and 4.

Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.
