Chapter 8, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two alkenes formed in the given dehydration elimination reaction of 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentanol are to be identified and their relative amounts are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

>

In a reaction that involves dehydration of alcohols, the hydrogen and the hydroxyl group are lost from the adjacent carbon atoms to form the most substituted alkene as the major product. The less substituted alkene is formed as the minor product.

>

The number of double bonds in the resulting alkenes depends on the number of distinct beta carbon atoms in the alcohol.

>

Hydrogenation of alkenes results in the formation of alkanes.

In the solid state, oxalic acid occurs as a dihydrate with the formula H2C2O4 C+2H2O. Use this formula to calculate the formula weight of oxalic acid. Use the calculated formula weight and the number of moles (0.00504mol) of oxalic acid in each titrated unknown sample recorded in Table 6.4 to calculate the number of grams of pure oxalic acid dihydrate contained in each titrated unknown sample.
1. Consider a pair of elements with 2p and 4p valence orbitals (e.g., N and Se). Draw their (2p and 4p AO's) radial probability plots, and sketch their angular profiles. Then, consider these orbitals from the two atoms forming a homonuclear л-bond. Which element would have a stronger bond, and why? (4 points)
Write the reaction and show the mechanism of the reaction. Include the mechanism for formation of the NO2+ 2. Explain, using resonance structures, why the meta isomer is formed. Draw possible resonance structures for ortho, meta and para.
