Explain the relative ease of dehydration of alcohols as : tertiary `gt` secondary `gt` primary.

Give possible explanation for the following. (a) Ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol. (b) Alcohols are easily protonated in comparision to phenols. (c) The relative ease of dehydration of alcohols is : tertiary gt secondary gt primary.

Explain that the relative ease of dehydration of alcohols is tertiary > secondary > Primary.

Assertion: The relative ease of dehydration of alcohols following order: Tretiary gt secondary gt Primary Reason : Formation of carbocation is the slowest step of reaction.

Assertion: The relative ease of dehydration of alcohols following order: Tretiary gt secondary gt Primary Reason : Formation of carbocation is the slowest step of reaction.

Consider the following statement about alcohol 1.Acidic strength of alcohol follows the order : Primary gt Secondary gt Tertiary II.The relative ease of dehydration of alcohol follows the order: Primary gt Secondary gt Tertiary III.Acetone on reaction with CH_(3)MgBr gives secondary alcohol The correct statement(s) is/are

Assertion : Ease of dehydraction of alcohols follows the order : Tertiary gt Secondary gt Primary. Reason : Dehydration proceeds through the formation of oxonium ion.

Consider the following statement about alcohol I.Acidic strength of alcohol follows the order : Primary > Secondary > Tertiary II. The relative ease of dehydration of alcohol follows the order: Primary > Secondary > Tertiary III. Acetone on reaction with CH_3MgBr gives secondary alcohol The correct statement(s) is/are
