MCQ
When alcohol reacts with concentrated ${H_2}S{O_4}$ intermediate compound formed is
  • Carbonium ion
  • B
    Alkoxy ion
  • C
    Alkyl hydrogen sulphate
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Carbonium ion
a
(a) In all cases intermediate is carbonium ion, and there may be $1, 2-$ hydride or $1, 2-$ methyl shift to form more stable carbonium ion.
