The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the reaction sequence step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound The starting compound is **CH₃-CH₂-CO-CH₃**, which is **butan-2-one** (a ketone). ### Step 2: Reaction with CN⁻ When butan-2-one reacts with **CN⁻** (cyanide ion), it undergoes a nucleophilic addition reaction. The cyanide ion attacks the carbonyl carbon (C=O), resulting in the formation of a cyanohydrin. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ CH₃-CH₂-CO-CH₃ + CN⁻ \rightarrow G \] - Here, **G** is the cyanohydrin formed from the addition of CN⁻ to the carbonyl group. ### Step 3: Treatment with concentrated H₂SO₄ and heating Next, the cyanohydrin **G** is treated with **95% H₂SO₄** and heated. The concentrated sulfuric acid will protonate the hydroxyl group (-OH) of the cyanohydrin, making it a better leaving group. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ G \overset{95\% H₂SO₄}{\rightarrow} \text{Carbocation} \] - The protonated hydroxyl group (H₂O) will leave, forming a carbocation. ### Step 4: Dehydration to form an alkene The carbocation formed can undergo a dehydration reaction where a beta hydrogen (H) is eliminated. This results in the formation of a double bond, leading to the formation of an alkene. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Carbocation} \rightarrow \text{Alkene (H)} \] - The major product **H** is thus **CH₃-CH=CH-CH₃**, which is **but-2-ene**. ### Final Answer The major product **H** of the given reaction sequence is **but-2-ene (CH₃-CH=CH-CH₃)**. ---
