| Assertion : tert-Butyl alcohol undergoes acid catalysed dehydration readily than propanol. |
| Reason : \[3{}^\circ \]Alcohols do not give Victor-Meyer's test. |
A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
C) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
D) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Alcohol which forms the more stable carbocation undergoes dehydration more readily. Since fort-butyl alcohol forms more stable fert-butyl cation, therefore, it undergoes dehydration more readily than propanol.
