Correct answer is (d) CH 2= CHOH

Q. In the following reaction, $C_{2} H_{2} H_{2} O H g S O_{4} / H_{2} S O_{4}, 6 0^{\circ} C X ⇌ C H_{3} C H O$
What is $X ?$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H$

$C H_{3} - O - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$

$C H_{2} = C H O H$

Correct answer is (d) $C H_{2} = C H O H$

Q. In the following reaction, C2​H2​H2​OHgSO4​/H2​SO4​,60∘C​X⇌CH3​CHO What is X?

CH3​CH2​OH

CH3​−O−CH3​

CH3​CH2​CHO

CH2​=CHOH
