Among the following compounds which can be dehydrated most readily is:

A

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH`

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2) CH_(2) overset(OH)overset(|)CHCH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CH_(2) overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(OH)underset(|)C CH_(2)CH_(3)`

D

`CH_(3)CH_(2) underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CHCH_(2)CH_(2)OH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The compound `CH_(3)CH_(2)underset(OH)underset(|)C(CH_(3))CH_(2)CH_(3)` produces most stable 3° carbo cation and thus the compound will undergo dehydration most easily.
