Question

Rate of dehydration of alcohols follows the order: (A) 2° > 1° > CH3OH> 3° (B) 3° > 2° > 1° > CH3OH (C) 2° > 3° > 1° > CH3OH (D) CH3OH>1°>2°>3°

The order of dehydration among three type of alcohols is 3° > 2° > 1° > CH3OH. This behaviour is related to the relative stabilities of carbocations (3° > 2° > 1° ).

Q. Rate of dehydration of alcohols follows the order:

$2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H > 3^{\circ}$

$3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H$

$2^{\circ} > 3^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H$

$C H_{3} O H > 1^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 3^{\circ}$

The order of dehydration among three type of alcohols is $3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H$ . This behaviour is related to the relative stabilities of carbocations $(3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ})$ .

Q. Rate of dehydration of alcohols follows the order:

2∘>1∘>CH3​OH>3∘

3∘>2∘>1∘>CH3​OH

2∘>3∘>1∘>CH3​OH

CH3​OH>1∘>2∘>3∘

The order of dehydration among three type of alcohols is 3∘>2∘>1∘>CH3​OH. This behaviour is related to the relative stabilities of carbocations (3∘>2∘>1∘).

$2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H > 3^{\circ}$

$3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H$

$2^{\circ} > 3^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H$

$C H_{3} O H > 1^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 3^{\circ}$

The order of dehydration among three type of alcohols is $3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ} > C H_{3} O H$ . This behaviour is related to the relative stabilities of carbocations $(3^{\circ} > 2^{\circ} > 1^{\circ})$ .
