The major product \(C\) in the below mentioned reaction is :
\(C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}Br\overset{Alc.KOH}{\underset{\Delta }{\to }}A\overset{HBr}{\to }B\overset{\text{Aq  }KOH}{\underset{∆}{\to }}C\)

[Re-NEET 2024]

a

Propan-1-ol

b

Propan-2-ol

c

Propane

d

Propyne

✓ Correct answer: b)

Propan-2-ol

Explanation
  1. CH₃CH₂CH₂Br + alc. KOH (∆) → propene (elimination)

  2. propene + HBr2‐bromopropane (Markovnikov addition)

  3. 2‐bromopropane + aq. KOH2‐propanol (nucleophilic substitution).
