Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of $3	ext{-methylbutan-1-ol}$ with dilute $H_2SO_4$ involves the acid-catalyzed dehydration of the alcohol to form an alkene,followed by the acid-catalyzed hydration of the alkene to form a more stable alcohol.$1$. Dehydration: $3	ext{-methylbutan-1-ol}$ undergoes dehydration to form $2	ext{-methylbut-2-ene}$ (the most stable alkene via Saytzeff's rule).$2$. Hydration: The addition of water to $2	ext{-methylbut-2-ene}$ follows Markovnikov's rule,where the $OH^-$ group attaches to the more substituted carbon atom.$3$. The resulting product is $2	ext{-methylbutan-2-ol}$,which is a tertiary alcohol and more stable than the starting primary alcohol.
