Vedclass · Answer

(A) The dehydration of $1$-cyclohexylbutan-$1$-ol involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Upon protonation of the $-OH$ group and loss of water,a tertiary carbocation is formed at the carbon attached to the cyclohexane ring. This carbocation can undergo elimination by losing a proton from adjacent carbons to form various alkenes. The product shown in option $A$ (where the double bond is inside the ring) is a possible product. However,the structure shown in the solution image (a double bond between the ring and the side chain) is not a possible product of this specific dehydration reaction because it would require the formation of a less stable alkene or a different carbocation rearrangement that is not favored here.
