Question

Consider the given reaction
CH3 CH3 -C-CH3 CH2 -OH

(conc. H2SO4) → Alkene (major)
CH

Identify alkene
(1) CH2 - CH2 - CH = CH2
(3) (CH3)2C = C(CH3)2
(2) CH3 – CH = CH – CHE
(4) CH2 - CH = C-CHE
CH3​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH2-CH=C-CH3-CH3 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

Option (d) is correct.

Stability of  alkene depends on number of substitution.

As the substitution increases stability of alkene also increases.

But 2 - methyl - 2- butene obtained as a Major product.
