Concept introduction:
Retrosynthetic analysis is a method of solving problems about the preparation of
In this, a target molecule is transferred into simple precursor structures without assuming the starting materials.
A reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product is called a synthetic reaction.

Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can
abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process
known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by
losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl (
-OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a
nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions.
However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols
and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation
depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the
alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a
proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols
lose a proton more easily.
Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol.
Check all that apply.

Convert 2-pentanol into 2,3-dibromopentane. Draw structures of the starting material (2-pentanol) and final product
(2,3-dibromopentane), and show the two reactions needed for this synthesis. Include the structure of the intermediate
compound, and the reagents and conditions for each reaction. Then explain why 1,2-dibromopentane would not be a
significant product of this synthesis.

precursors.

The reactions you will examine form a strong basis for synthetic tools that an organic chemist would use. You will be expected to predict the major products of reactions under the conditions given. The key to doing this is to look carefully at the conditions and remember how those conditions affect the products. It is a good idea to have an index card file of the reactions as you learn them. Dehydration (loss of water) - There are two forms of dehydration reactions with alcohols - ether formation and elimination (alkene formation). In both reactions you are looking for the components of water (OH and H) that will be removed in the reaction.

The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
