STANDARD Chemistry Dehydration and Hydration Reactions MCQ Question
Consider the following reaction sequence, CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH(OH)CH₃ → Conc. H₂SO₄, Heat → X → dil. H₂SO₄, H₂O → Y. X and Y in the reaction respectively are
CH₃CH = CH₂, CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃
CH₃CH = CHCH₃, CH₃CH₂CH₂OH
CH₃CH₂CH = CH₂, CH₃CH₂CH₂OH
CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃, CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₂CH₃
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The reaction involves dehydration of the diol to form an alkene (X) and subsequent hydration to form an alcohol (Y).
