Interpretation: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The
In acid-catalyzed dehydration, a saturated compound is converted to an unsaturated compound in the presence of an acid catalyst.
(b)
To determine: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid.
Interpretation: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The chemical reaction that consists of an alkyl halide, a good leaving group, reacts with Lewis base to form an alkene is termed as elimination reaction. In this reaction there is complete removal of the leaving group without any substitution.
