Question

Consider the following reaction
ethanol `overset(PBr_(3))(rarr)Xoverset(alc.KOH)(rarr)Yoverset((i)H_(2)SO_(4),"room temp".)underset((ii)H_(2)O,heat)(rarr)Z` the product `Z` is
A. `CH_(3)CH_(2)OCH_(2)CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)O SO_(3)H`
C. `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`
D. `CH_(2)=CH_(2)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
`{:(underset("Ethanol")(C_(2)H_(5)OH),overset(PBr_(3))(rarr),underset((X))(C_(2)H_(5)Br),overset("alC "KOH)(rarr),underset((Y))(CH_(2)=CH_(2))),(,,,," "darr H_(2)SO_(4)),(,,underset((Z))(C_(2)H_(5)OH),overset(H_(2)O)(larr),CH_(3)CH_(2)HSO_(4)):}`
