    Among the following compound which can be dehydrated very easily?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Sol.         Order of dehydration of alcohol is\[3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ \]. Hence, tertiary alcohol is dehydrated very easily. \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{{H}^{+}}}\]                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\oplus }{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\]
