Answer to Problem 8.54P
The organic product formed in the given reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction involves primary alkyl halide and strong bulky base. Primary alkyl halides can undergo substitution as well as elimination reactions. Since, the base is strong and bulky, it undergoes elimination reaction through

Interpretation: The organic product formed in the given reaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: A carbon atom bonded to two halogen groups is called germinal dihalides. Geminal dihalides undergo double dehydrohalogenation reaction in the presence of excess base to form alkyne as the final product. The reaction prefers elimination pathway.
Answer to Problem 8.54P
The organic product formed in the given reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction, germinal dihalide is the starting material and amine base is strong, negatively chargedand present in excess amount

Concept introduction: The dehydrohalogenation reaction of primary alkyl halide mostly favors
Answer to Problem 8.54P
The organic product formed in the given reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction, the alkyl halide is primary and base is strong, but non-nucleophilic. Primary alkyl halides can undergo substitution as well as elimination reactions. Since, the base is strong and non-nucleophilic, it undergoes elimination reaction through E2 pathway.
The corresponding reaction is shown below.

Answer to Problem 8.54P
The organic product formed in the given reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction, the alkyl halide is secondary and base is a strong, negatively charged bulky base. Secondaryalkyl halides can undergo substitution as well as elimination reactions. Since, the base is strong and bulky it undergoes elimination reaction through E2 pathway.
The corresponding reaction is shown below.
