Chemistry This is a dehalogenation reaction of vicinal

dihalide. In this reaction, an alkene is produced on
treatment of dihalide with Zn metal by loosing a

When gold dissolves in aqua regia, the species Nylon-6 is obtained by heating caprolactum with
− water at high temperature. It has amide linkages.
formed is AuCl4 in which gold is in +3 oxidation

state.
In the absence of air the reaction between gold and

Natural rubber is a linear polymer of isoprene
(2-methyl-1, 3-butadine) containing cis alkene

This process of elimination of carbon dioxide from

a carboxylic acid is known as decarboxylation.

This is Kolbe's electrolytic method.

Alkyl halides (except fluorides) on reduction with

zinc and dilute hydrochloric acid give alkanes.
