Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as
Assertion: The ease of dehydration of the following alcohols is
Reason: Alcohols lea4ing to conjugated alkenes are dehydrated to a greater extent.
A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion
C) If Assertion is true but Reason is false
D) If both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Phenol is least reactive towards dehydration due to resonance stabilization. 2-cyclohexenol undergoes dehydration more readily as it gives conjugated alkene. (Alcohols leading to conjugated alkenes are dehydrated more readily).
