(b) Follows Zai

Question

Elimination reaction of 2-Bromo-pentane to form pent-2-ene is
(a) $\beta$-Elimination reaction
(b) Follows Zaitsev rule
(c) Dehydrohalogenation reaction
(d) Dehydration reaction

Accepted Answer

The reaction involves the removal of H and Br (dehydrohalogenation) from the $\beta$-carbon ($\beta$-elimination) and follows Zaitsev's rule to form the more substituted alkene (pent-2-ene).
