The incorrect method for the synthesis of alkenes is

  1. Treating vicinal dihalides with Zn metal
  2. Treating of alkynes with Na in liquid NH3
  3. Heating alkyl halides with alcoholic KOH
  4. Treating alkyl halides in aqueous KOH solution

Answer

(4) Treating alkyl halides in aqueous KOH solution

Solution

(1) Vicinal dihalide + Zn alkene + ZnX2 (dehalogenation) — gives alkene.

(2) Alkyne + Na in liquid NH3 trans-alkene (partial reduction) — gives alkene.

(3) Alkyl halide + alcoholic KOH, heat alkene (dehydrohalogenation, β-elimination) — gives alkene.

(4) As per NCERT, aqueous KOH supplies OH- as a nucleophile and replaces the halogen: R-X + KOH(aq) R-OH + KX — gives an alcohol, not an alkene.

∴ Method (4) is incorrect.

Answer: (4)
