Among the following compounds which can be dehydrated very easily is:

Options

A. `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) underset(OH)underset(|) ( C )- CH_(2) - CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - overset(OH)overset(|)(C )H - CH_(3)`
C. `CH_(3) - CH_(2)-CH_(2) - CH_(2) - CH_(2)- OH`
D. `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C ) H - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - OH`

Answer

A

Explanation

`CH_(3) - CH_(2)- overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) underset(OH) underset(|) (C ) - CH_(2) - CH_(3) overset(H^(+))(to) CH_(3) - CH_(2) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|)underset(oplus) ( C) - CH_(2) - CH_(3)`
The more stable carbocation is generated thus more easily it will be dehydrated.
