Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves the acidic cleavage of the ether bond in the starting material in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. This results in the formation of two products: one with a primary alcohol group, and one with a double bond. Both I and II contain these functional groups and are therefore the major products of the reaction. III and IV are not formed as they do not contain these functional groups.
