Why alkyl halide with aqueous KOH forms alcohol but with alcoholic KOH forms alkene?

pankaj singh chemistry expert explains why the treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkenes are major products?

Thank you! I’ve been asking this to many different teachers but the replies had been “it’s just a mechanism”

[salonisingh]

Sir, really your explanation in English is too nice 🙂

[Ummedramjodhpur]

After watching this concept suddenly attacked on my mind 😱

[yogpriyachoudhari]

You should do more!! I loved it!! All the best!😁

[subhashisguha]

When will an anion act as base and when As nucleophile? Make a detailed video on the conditions

[Absolutesilence]

Sir the hydrogen which we were using to produce HCl has already been taken by alkoxide ion, so how HCl will be produced?and what about the Cl?

[lalbiaksanga]

Your explanation reminds me of my late chemistry lecturer at Govt. Mizo HSS, Aizawl.

[saranghwa]

Thank you so much sir! It was really helpful ❤️

[TheodorerooseveltTheFourTH]

Great sir🔥, always had a doubt with this, got it cleared now, also, sir can you pls recommend me an article to read, in which molecule base character dominates and in which nucleophile character dominates, cuz alkoxide is both a Nu and a base, but here basic dominates, would be really helpful if you could do that sir, thanks in advance

[arnavagarwal]

Sir when alkoxide is formed then why does it remove the beta H (cause beta H isn't acidic) and how is cl removed to give final product

[nishthamahajan]

Sir 1 chlorobutane ki rxn agr alc koh or aqueous koh k Saath krenge to kya product bnega kisme rearrangement Hoga kisme nhi Hoga ?

[superduper]

Sir then what happens to cl in elimination reaction

[ayushrana]

Sir plzz make video on important questions of chapters (exam point of view) I'll help us !

[bhargavijoshi]

Nice lecture sir excellent lecture but I have a short suggestion that u should teach in hindi

[Bgmipubg]

Legand only see answers and, enterperate...

[udaypadole]

Sir when 3-Bromo-3-ethyl-pentane with aq. KOH then product will be

[payalrathod]

Sir ethyl Tetra chloride on reaction aq koh kya banega ???

[rbc]

Why alkoxide ion cannot act as nucleophile?

[kanukaashok]

If I take potassium carbonate what will happen

[flowerbud]

Sir please do neet series it will be very helpful
