Answer:
Most substituted alkene is produced as a major product
Explanation:
- Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol proceeds through E1 mechanism to form alkenes.
- Most substituted alkene is produced as major product because of presence of highest number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms corresponding to the produced double bond (Saytzeff product).
- Here, a H-shift also occurs in one of the intermediate step during dehydration to produce more stable tertiary carbocation.
- Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
