Chapter 14, Problem 14.63P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of products formed from dehydration of 3-hexanol needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

According to Zaitsev's rule, in elimination reaction the alkene formed in major amount is the one which is formed due to the removal of hydrogen from the beta carbon atom with a smaller number of hydrogen atoms. Also, the alkene formed as major product is more substituted.

Dehydration reaction is defined as removal of water molecule from a compound. An alcohol reacts with acid to from alkene as a dehydration product.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason for the formation of both the products in same amount needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

According to Zaitsev's rule, in elimination reaction the alkene formed in major amount is the one which is formed due to the removal of hydrogen from the beta carbon atom with a smaller number of hydrogen atoms. Also, the alkene formed as major product is more substituted.

Dehydration reaction is defined as removal of water molecule from a compound. An alcohol reacts with acid to from alkene as a dehydration product.

4 But-2-enal, CH₂CH=CHCHO, is a pale yellow, flammable liquid with an irritating odour. (a) But-2-enal exists as two stereoisomers. Draw skeletal formulae to show the structure of the two stereoisomers of but-2-enal. (b) (i) Describe a simple chemical test that would show that but-2-enal is an aldehyde. (ii) Explain why this test gives a different result with aldehydes than it does with keton (c) But-2-enal also reacts with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. (i) Identify the organic compound formed in this reaction. (ii) State the type of chemical reaction occurring. (d) Precautions must be taken to prevent but-2-enal catching fire. Construct a balanced equation for the complete combustion of but-2-enal, C₂HO.
