Which of the following alcohols is dehydrated most readily with conc. H2SO4?{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_4}?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
pβˆ’CH3OC6H4CH(OH)CH3p - \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{O}{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_4}\mathrm{CH}\left( {\mathrm{OH}} \right)\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}
Option C (pβˆ’CH3OC6H4CH(OH)CH3p - CH_3OC_6H_4CH(OH)CH_3) is correct because the electron-donating methoxy group stabilizes the carbocation intermediate formed during dehydration, accelerating the reaction.
