a. R—Cl is hydrolysed to R—OH slowly but the reaction is rapid if a catalytic amount of KI is added to the reaction mixture.
b. What is formed if cylcopentanone is reduced with H2 /Pt . Give equation for the reaction.

(a)

The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aq KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in presence of alcoholic KOH, alkenes are the major products. Explain.
