Question

Give detailed mechanism Solution with explanation needed..don't give Handwritten answer 

**Reaction and Product Identification**

**Reaction Conditions:**
- Reagent: H₂SO₄
- Heat: Δ (delta, indicating heating)

**Structure of Reactants and Possible Products:**

1. **Reactant:**
   - A secondary alcohol with the structure indicating a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom in a linear carbon chain.

2. **Possible Major Products:**
   - **I:** An alkene, characterized by a carbon-carbon double bond.
   - **II:** Another alkene, different in position or configuration from product I.
   - **III:** An organosulfate, where the bisulfate group (OSO₃H) replaces the hydroxyl group.
   - **IV:** Another organosulfate, isomeric with product III, with the bisulfate group positioned differently.

**Question:**
Select the major product(s) from the given options:

- a. II
- b. III
- c. III & IV
- d. I
- e. IV

In this reaction, the dehydration of the alcohol using sulfuric acid typically favors the formation of alkenes (products I and II) through elimination, unless rearrangements or side reactions lead to the organosulfate products (III and IV).
