Question
The correct order for the rate of -dehydrohalogenation for the following compounds is:
(i) < (ii) < (iii)
(ii) < (i) < (iii)
(iii) < (ii) < (i)
(ii) < (iii) < (i)
The question is incomplete as the chemical structures of the compounds are missing from the input data, making it impossible to independently determine the conceptually correct order. However, the rate of -dehydrohalogenation (an elimination reaction) generally depends on the nature of the alkyl halide and the stability of the product alkene. For a given halogen, the rate of dehydrohalogenation follows the order: tertiary > secondary > primary . Based on the provided probable answer, the order is (ii) < (iii) < (i).
This question aligns with the NEET CHEMISTRY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
