Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.whats the ans 4?
Im also getting 4 but in ans key it says 2
wha
it will def ring expand i think
Confused
ye if someone else explains why its 2 ping me too
Alright
now that i think about it option 2 makes no sense conc h2so4 does dehydration if it was doing it there would be 2 double bonds
Ikr ig the answer key is wrong
why 4 i think it should be 2
its a dehydration reaction
4 cuz a four membered ring is not that stable at all, lot of angle strain
it'll want to expand to a higher ring
also if both OH were getting dehydrated, shouldn't there be 2 double bonds
think of mechanism
yeah this i agree i just realised myself
1 is an ether, but strong acid favors dehydration over ether formation.
3 structure does not seem to arise from the given mechanism.
ye to sort
but 4 th ka i think nhi hona chiye
because even if it is more stable mechanism ye form hoga kaise that is question
I asked my school teacher he also said said 4, answer key was wrong. Thanks guys
