Dehydrohalogenation of Alkyl Halides

Dehydrohalogenation is a chemical reaction of alkyl halides in which halide atom and hydrogen atom eliminate to form alkenes products in organic chemistry. Dehydrohalogenation is an example of elimination reaction. In this article we will learn about E1 and E2 reactions. We will understand the mechanisms and compare the products obtained from these reactions.

Key words: Dehydrohalogenation, Elimination reaction, Unimolecular reaction, bimolecular reaction, Zaitsev rule, Hoffmann product.

Isomerism in Alkenes in Organic Chemistry

Isomers are the two individual compounds which have same molecular formula but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in the molecule.

Hi Friends, In this article we are going to learn about Isomerism in Alkenes in organic chemistry. .

Key words: Isomers, Structural isomers, Geometric isomers, Cis/trans isomers, E / Z naming system

So what are isomers?

The word isomer is derived from Greek word “isomeros” where, iso means “equal” and meros means “part”.
