(a)
Interpretation: To determine the major product of dehydration of 4-methyl-2-pentanol.
Concept Introduction: Dehydration reaction is a conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion. Dehydration reactions are the reverse of hydration reaction.
(b)
Interpretation: To explain the reason for the production of only small amounts of 4-methyl-1-pentene and 2-methyl-1-pentene in this reaction.
Concept Introduction: Saytzeff’s rule states that the major product is most substituted
