Question
Chapter 9, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason should be explained for why when (S)-2-butanol is heated with sulfuric acid gives racemic mixture.
Concept introduction:
Racemization:
Alcohol is treated with strong acid like sulfuric acid which forms stable carbocation and it can undergo addition reaction to form a racemic mixture.
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Primary carbocation < secondary carbocation < tertiary carbocation
