Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  3. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Answer

(3) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Solution

Statement I: With aqueous KOH, OH- replaces Cl by nucleophilic substitution:

R-Cl + KOH(aq) R-OH + KCl

Alcohols are formed by substitution, not by elimination Statement I is incorrect.

Statement II: Alcoholic KOH (alkoxide/hydroxide acting as a base) removes an H from the β-carbon and Cl- leaves from the α-carbon (β-elimination, dehydrohalogenation):

CH3-CH2-Cl alc. KOH, CH2=CH2 + KCl + H2O

Statement II is correct.

Answer: (3)
