Chapter 9, Problem 9.51P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The major alkene formed from the dehydration of A with H2SO4 is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Alcohols undergo dehydration reaction in the presence of strong acids like H2SO4 or p-toluenesulfonicacid(TsOH) and yield alkenes. The dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols occurs in three steps and it is E1 reaction. The first step is protonation of OH to form good leaving group. The second step is heterolytic cleavage of CO bond to form a carbocation (carbocation rearrangement is possible). The third step is abstraction of proton by a base (HSO4orH2O) from a carbon adjacent to the carbocation to result the new π bond.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The major alkene formed from the dehydration of A with POCl3,andpyridine, and an explanation that corresponds to the different major products in these reactions are to be stated.

Concept introduction: Alcohols undergo dehydration reaction in the presence of POCl3,pyridine, and yield alkenes. The mechanism of the reaction is E2 and it does not involve carbocation rearrangement. This dehydration reaction involves two steps. The first step is protonation of OH to form good leaving group. The second step is loss of the leaving group and removal of the β proton.
