Answer»




Solution :`C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-underset(OH)underset(|)CH-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(3)underset(-H_(2)O)overset("conc." H_(2)SO_(4)(H^(+)))to C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-overset(o+)CH-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(3)underset("(REARRANGEMENT)")overset(1,2H(Ө)"shift")to C_(6)H_(5)-overset(+)CH-CH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-CH_(3)to ` TRANS + cis.
Trans is major product due to thermodynamically more stable as well as carbocation show anti elimination.
