- AHuckel's Rule
- BSaytzeff's Rule
- CHund's Rule
- DHofmann Rule
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Major product formed in dehydrohalogenation reaction of 2-bromopentane is pent-2-ene because according to Saytzeff's Rule, in dehydrohalogenation reactions, the preferred product is that alkene which has greater number of alkyl group(s) attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms.
