alkyl Definition and 1 Threads
In organic chemistry, an alkyl group is an alkane missing one hydrogen.
The term alkyl is intentionally unspecific to include many possible substitutions.
An acyclic alkyl has the general formula of −CnH2n+1. A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula −CnH2n−1.
Typically an alkyl is a part of a larger molecule. In structural formulae, the symbol R is used to designate a generic (unspecified) alkyl group. The smallest alkyl group is methyl, with the formula −CH3.

Chemistry Elimination question on alkyl halide
I firstly made the newman projection, aci/base on OH resulting in OH2+. Then NGP by neighbouring bromine and then the other bromine back attack. Then I simply did Finkelstein reaction and hence anti eliminating erythro iodine from vicinal positions making Trans 2 butene. The solution manual...- Zayan
