Product [X] formed in the above reaction is :- A

- B

- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
The reaction image/details are missing in the prompt, so the exact substrate and reagents are not visible. However, from the options given, the products listed are the two possible butenes:
- Option C: = but-2-ene
- Option D: = but-1-ene
Since this question is from alcohols, phenols and ethers, such questions commonly ask for the alkene formed on dehydration of a butyl alcohol.
Step 1: Apply the general rule for dehydration of alcohols
On acid-catalyzed dehydration of alcohols, the major product is generally the more substituted alkene according to Saytzeff (Zaitsev) rule.
Thus, among the two possible butenes:
- is more substituted
- is less substituted
So the expected major product is:
which is Option C.
Step 2: Compare with stored answer
The stored correct answer is given as B, but the visible options only show structures for C and D, and among those, the chemically expected product is C.
Therefore, I do not agree with the stored answer.
It is possible that the original image/reaction or full option list is incomplete in the prompt, and option B may have contained another structure not shown here. Based only on the visible information, Option C is the correct choice.
