How many distinct alkenes obtained from the 3-Bromo3-methylhexane upon treatment with alc. $\mathrm{KOH}$ ?

  • A
    $2$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $5$

Solution

Figure
3 different alkenes obtained 3-Bromo-3-methylhexane As there are three distinct $\beta$-hydrogens (on $\beta$-carbons), we can get three different alkenes.

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