Question:medium

An alcohol X($C_5H_{12}O$) undergoes dehydration when passed over copper at 573 K. X can be prepared from which of the following reactants?

Show Hint

$3^\circ$ Alcohols undergo Dehydration with Cu/573K. $1^\circ$ and $2^\circ$ undergo Dehydrogenation. Rearrangement of carbocations is a critical step in acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes.
