(a)
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
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.
In acid-catalyzed dehydration, a saturated compound is converted to an unsaturated compound in the presence of an acid catalyst.
