Abelianization of an odd dihedral group ($D_{2n}^{\mathrm{ab}}\cong C_2$)

For odd $n\ge 3$, the dihedral group $D_{2n}$ of order $2n$ has rotation generator $r$ and reflection generator $s$, with $srs=r^{-1}$. The group commutator $[r,s]=r^{-2}$ generates the rotation subgroup, while the quotient by that subgroup is $C_2$. Hence the commutator subgroup is exactly $⟨r⟩$ and the abelianization is $C_2$. The only abelian quotients are $C_2$ and the trivial group.
