Question

Which of the following does not come under the organic addition reaction?

• A. Halogenation
• B. Hydro halogenation
• C. Dehydration
• D. Hydration

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Dehydration

• Organic Addition Reactions involve two or more molecules combining to form a larger single product, typically occurring in unsaturated compounds (alkenes and alkynes) by breaking pi bonds.

• Halogenation (addition of halogens), Hydrohalogenation (addition of hydrogen halides), and Hydration (addition of water) are all classic examples of addition reactions.

• Dehydration, on the other hand, is an elimination reaction where a water molecule is removed from a compound (such as an alcohol) to form an alkene.
