Predict the major product of acid catalysed dehydration of butan-1-ol.

  1. A \(2 CH _2= CH _2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH_3 - C(CH_3) = CH_2}\)
  3. C \(CH _3- CH = CH - CH _3\)
  4. D \(CH _3- CH _2- CH = CH _2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(CH _3- CH = CH - CH _3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH \xrightarrow{H^+, \Delta} CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3\)
