Question

Pick out the correct statement about the following dehydration process.

• A. Product $X$ is the most favourable product of this dehydration.
• B. From [W] to [X] three carbocations are involved.
• C. In dehydration of alcohol, a thermodynamically controlled product (TCP) is produced as a minor product.
• D. Product $X$ is not the most favourable product of this dehydration.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Product $X$ is not the most favourable product of this dehydration.

Since dehydration is carried out at elevated temperature (443K) so thermodynamically controlled product (TCP) is produced as major product.
