1.	The main product of the following reaction is C_(6)H_(5)CH(OH)CH(CH_(3))_(2) overset(conc. H_(2)SO_(4))rarr
Answer» Solution :`C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-underset(OH)underset(\|)(CH)-underset(CH_(3))underset(\|)(CH)-CH_(3) underset(-H_(2)O)overset(H^(+))rarr C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-overset(+)(CH)-underset(CH_(3))underset(\|)(CH)-CH_(3)overset("Hybride shift")rarr C_(6)H_(5)-overset(+)(CH)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset(\|)(CH)-CH_(3) underset(-H^(+))rarr` (Benzyl CARBOCATION more STABLE due to resonance
