(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The major product of acid-catalyzed dehydration of the given alcohol, pentan2ol.

Interpretation: The major product of acid-catalyzed dehydration of the given alcohol, pentan2ol is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction that consists of an alkyl halide, a good leaving group that reacts with Lewis base to form an alkene is termed as elimination reaction. In this reaction there is complete removal of the leaving group without any substitution.
