Dehydrohalogenation

elimination of HX from alkyl halide using heat and KOH

May create racemic mixture

2
New cards

dehydration

elimination of H-OH from an alcohol, requires a strong acid

3
New cards

Why can hydrohalogenations make racemic mixtures?

Because the carbocation is flat, and can be attacked from either side, So if chiral C, both R and S products will be made.
