Elimination reaction of 2-Bromo-pentane to form pent-2-ene is:-Elimination reactionFollows Zaitsev ruleDehydrohalogenation reactionDehydration reaction
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the elimination reaction of 2-Bromo-pentane to form pent-2-ene.Let's break down the reaction and the options provided:1. The reaction involves the elimination of a hydrogen halide (HBr) from 2-Bromo-pentane.2. This type of reaction is known as a -elimination reaction because the hydrogen is removed from the -carbon.3. The reaction follows Zaitsev's rule, which states that the more substituted alkene is the major product. In this case, pent-2-ene is more substituted than pent-1-ene, so it is the major product.4. The reaction is also a dehydrohalogenation reaction, as it involves the removal of HBr.5. Dehydration reactions typically refer to the removal of water, which is not the case here.Analyzing the options:• Option (a): -Elimination reaction is correct.• Option (b): Follows Zaitsev rule is correct.• Option (c): Dehydrohalogenation reaction is correct.• Option (d): Dehydration reaction is incorrect.Therefore, the correct combination of options is:Option 4: (a), (b), (c).
