The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the chemical reaction involving the given compound and determine the major product (P) formed after the reaction with H+ under heat (Δ). The compound can be represented as follows: **Structure of the Compound:** - The compound consists of two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to a carbon chain with methyl (CH3) groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure:** The compound can be represented as: \[ CH_3-CH(OH)-C(OH)-CH_3 \] This indicates that we have a symmetrical compound with two hydroxyl groups. 2. **Protonation of Hydroxyl Groups:** When the compound reacts with H+, one of the hydroxyl groups (OH) will get protonated, forming a better leaving group (water, H2O): \[ CH_3-CH(OH_2^+)-C(OH)-CH_3 \] Here, the OH group becomes OH2+, making it a good leaving group. 3. **Formation of Carbocation:** The protonated hydroxyl group leaves, resulting in the formation of a carbocation: \[ CH_3-CH^+-C(OH)-CH_3 + H_2O \] This carbocation is formed at the carbon where the OH group was initially located. 4. **Methyl Shift:** A methyl group from the adjacent carbon will migrate to the carbocation center to stabilize it: \[ CH_3-CH^+-C(OH)-CH_3 \rightarrow CH_3-CH(CH_3)-C^+-CH_3 \] This results in a more stable tertiary carbocation. 5. **Formation of the Major Product:** The final step involves the deprotonation of the hydroxyl group, leading to the formation of a double bond (alkene): \[ CH_3-C(CH_3)=C(OH)-CH_3 \] After the loss of H+, we get the major product: \[ CH_3-C(CH_3)=C(CH_3)-CH_3 \] ### Conclusion: The major product (P) formed from the reaction is: \[ \text{Major Product (P)}: CH_3-C(CH_3)=C(CH_3)-CH_3 \]
