COMEDK · Chemistry · 26. Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Choose the incorrect statement.
- A Reaction of alcohols with anhydrides is carried out in the presence of small amounts of Conc. H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) to remove the water formed
- B Relative ease of dehydration of alcohols on heating with a protic acid is Primary > Secondary > Tertiary
- C p– Nitrophenol is more acidic than p– Cresol
- D Cyclic C\(_4\)H\(_7\)OH exists as four structural isomers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Relative ease of dehydration of alcohols on heating with a protic acid is Primary > Secondary > Tertiary
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The relative ease of dehydration of alcohols on heating with a protic acid follows the order: Tertiary \(>\) Secondary \(>\) Primary. This is because the dehydration mechanism involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate, and the stability of carbocations follows the…
