Q. Dehydration of 2-butanol yield
A) 1-butene
B) 2-butene
C) 2-butyne
D) Both (a) and (b)
Explanation
(d)
$CH_{3}CH_{2}CH - CH_{3}$
|
$OH$
$\overset{H^{+}\ \ }{\rightarrow}CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH - CH_{3}\overset{- H_{2}O}{\rightarrow}$
|
$H - O^{+} - H$
(Major)$CH_{3}CH = CHCH_{3}$
(Minor)$CH_{3}CH_{2}CH = CH_{2}$
