Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound 11ea7e2f_dcb9_3793_ab1f_e1e6187796d0_TB4941_00 is pentanol, which can undergo dehydration to form pentene. Specifically, since pentanol has two possible sites for dehydration (the hydroxyl group on carbon 1 or the hydroxyl group on carbon 2), both 1-pentene and 2-pentene can be formed. However, 2-pentene is the major product due to the stability of the resulting carbocation intermediate on the more substituted carbon.
