Chapter 8, Problem 61P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The starting material, which gives the desired product through the given defined reaction on working backward, is to be deduced.

Concept introduction:

Acid catalyzed dehydration is a reaction in which the alcohol is converted into alkene.

Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups present on adjacent positions are detached and a double bond is formed.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction: A reaction, in which one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon, or a functional group, is replaced by any nucleophile is called substitution reaction.

A nucleophile is a molecule or atom with negative charge or a lone pair of electrons.

The reaction in which the halide group is removed through elimination reaction to form the alkene is called dehydrohalogenation.
