Alcohols Phenols And Ethers Question 59
Question: Rate of dehydration of alcohols follows the order:
Options:
A) $ 2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >CH_3OH>3{}^\circ $
B) $ 3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >CH_3OH $
C) $ 2{}^\circ >3{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >CH_3OH $
D) $ CH_3OH>1{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >3{}^\circ $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] The order of dehydration among three type of alcohols is $ 3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ >CH_3OH $ . This behaviour is related to the relative stabilities of carbocations $ ( 3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ ). $
