Part 2: Elimination Reaction of an Alcohol In this part of your lab exercise, you will be reacting tert-butyl alcohol with sulfuric acid. Draw the mechanism for the reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with sulfuric acid, and also write the product that will be formed: Will the reaction proceed by an E1 or E2 mechanism? Why does an elimination product form rather than a substitution product? The product is a gas...why? Because the product is a gas, you need to learn how to collect a gaseous product. Your first impulse may be to just collect the gas into a test tube, or into a beaker. However, you should FILL the collection container WITH WATER BEFORE collecting the gas...why?

Predict the products of this organic reaction: + H₂O No reaction H A ? Specifically, in the drawing area below draw the structure of the product, or products, of this reaction. (If there's more than one product, draw them in any arrangement you like, so long as they aren't touching.) If there aren't any products because this reaction won't happen, check the No reaction box under the drawing area. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. X Ś Ć
