When linalool (right panel) is treated with a strong protic acid in the presence of heat, 12 distinct products form. a. Given the initial structure of linalool, draw the structure of these 12 products b.

Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C − OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism that shows how CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is dehydrated with H2SO4 to form a mixture of CH3CH2CH = CH2 and the cis and trans isomers of CH3CH = CHCH3. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 18.5C.
