Which alcohol forms a mixture of alkenes when dehydrated? A 2-methylpropan-1-ol B propan-2-ol C butan-1-ol D butan-2-ol
The answer is D but can someone please explain why and also why it would not be any of the other options? Thanks!
D is an unsymmetrical secondary alcohol. Think about the different structures of the alkenes and the different groups attached to each end of the double bond.
