Which of the following is the major product of the given reaction?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B
The given compound forms a stable tertiary carbocation intermediate and it undergoes β- elimination to 3 possible products.
When more substituted alkenes are formed as products, they are known as Saytzeff or Zaitsev products.
When less substituted alkenes are formed as products, they are known as Hofmann products.
In the dehydration of alcohols, Saytzeff products are the major products because more substituted alkene gives more stability.
Hence, product(c) is more substituted, it is the saytzeff product of the given d
