Question

Consider the above reaction, the major product ''P'' formed is,
Conc. HBr \( \longrightarrow \) 'P'" (Major Product)

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

In this reaction, the $OH$ group will attack the $H^{+}$ and get removed as water molecule to give a carbocation which undergoes resonance to form a stable more substituted alkene followed by addition of $B{r}^{-}$.

Hence, option (a) is correct.
