A tertiary alcohol H upon acid- catalyzed dehydration gives a product I. Ozonolysis of to compounds J and K. Compound J upon reaction with KOH gives benzly alcohol and a compound L, whereas K on reaction with KOH gives only M.

The structure of compound I is

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

(A)

Explanation

`H=Ph-CH_(2)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(OH)overset(|)(C)-Ph I=Ph-CH=underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)-Ph " " K=Ph-underset(O)underset(||)(C) -CH_(3)`
`underset((J))(Ph-CHO)overset(OH^(-))underset(("cannizaro reaction"))to underset((L))(Ph-CH_(2)OH+Ph-COO^(-)K^(+)`
