Dehydration of Alcohols
Which product will be the major product in the reaction with P2O5?
I think it's the one on the top as the Hydrogen present can be easily eliminated but I think someone in my class told that the major would be the one on the bottom.
E2 Elimination is Kinetically Controlled, so are we supposed to check the stability (extent of Hyperconjugation) of the resulting Alkene or no?

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.2nd major
could you provide a reason as to why the first product isn't major?
more alkylated alkene is stable
so we don't check Kinetic control?
in case of a single alkene it is not required ig
ohhh alright, thanks
