Dehydration of which of the following alcohols produce alkenes exhibiting cis-trans-isomerism ?A. Isopropyl alcoholB. Tertiary butyl alcoholC. Secondary butyl alcoholD. 3-Pentanol

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Both `2^@` butyl alcohol and 3-pentanol on dehydration give alkenes which show cis-trans isomerism.
`underset(2^@ "Butyl alcohol")(CH_3-CHOH-CH_2CH_3)underset((-H_2O))overset"Dehydration"to underset"2-Butene"(CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3)`
`underset"3-Pentanol"(CH_3CH_2-CHOH-CH_2CH_3)underset((-H_2O))overset"Dehydration"to underset"2-Pentene"(CH_3CH_2-CH=CHCH_3)`
