(a)
Interpretation:
The alcohol from which the following dehydration product can be obtained needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
According to Zaitsev's rule, in elimination reaction the
Dehydration reaction is defined as removal of water molecule from a compound. An alcohol reacts with acid to from alkene as a dehydration product.
(b)
Interpretation:
The alcohol from which the following dehydration product can be obtained 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.
