Correct order for reaction with alcoholic $\mathrm{KOH}$ is Figure

  • A
    i $>$ ii $>$ iii $>$ iv
  • Correct answer
    B
    i $>$ iii $>$ ii $>$ iv
  • C
    iv $>$ ii $>$ iii $>\mathrm{i}$
  • D
    i $>$ iv $>$ ii $>$ iii

Solution

$-\mathrm{Br}$ is good leaving group than $-\mathrm{Cl}$ due to low bond dissociation energy of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Br}$ bond. $2^{\circ}$ carbocation is more stable than $1^{\circ}$ carbocation. More substituted alkene is more stable (Saytzeff's rule). Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
