Acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols proceeds through an El mechanism. The first step is the protonation of the alcohol oxygen to form an oxonium ion. Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol forms one major and two minor organic products. Draw the structures, including hydrogen atoms, of the three organic products of this reaction.

Some of the most useful compounds for organic synthesisare Grignard reagents (general formula R-MgX, where X is ahalogen), which are made by combining an alkyl halide, R-X,with Mg. They are used to change the carbon skeleton of a start-ing carbonyl compound in a reaction similar to that with R-Li:.(a) What is the product, after a final step with water, of thereaction between ethanal and the Grignard reagent of bromo-benzene? (b) What is the product, after a final step with water, ofthe reaction between 2-butanone and the Grignard reagent of2-bromopropane? (c) There are often two (or more) combina-tions of Grignard reagent and carbonyl compound that will givethe same product. Choose another pair of reactants to give theproduct in (a). (d) What carbonyl compound must react with aGrignard reagent to yield a product with the -OH group at theendof the carbon chain? (e) What Grignard reagent and carbonylcompound would you use to prepare 2-methyl-2-butanol?
Following is the structural formula of the tranquilizer meparfynol (Oblivon). Propose a synthesis for this compound starting with acetylene and a ketone. (Notice the -yn- and -ol in the chemical name of this compound, indicating that it contains alkyne and hydroxyl functional groups.)
In this chapter, we studied the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene. The reverse of this reaction is the acid-catalyzed dehydration of an alcohol. Propene 2-Propanol (Isopropyl alcohol) Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-propanol to propene.
Recalling the reactions of alcohols from Chapter 10, show how to synthesize each compound from an organohalogen compound and an oxirane, followed by a transformation of the resulting hydroxyl group to the desired oxygen-containing functional group.
A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:
When 2-pentene is treated with Cl2 in methanol, three products are formed. Account for the formation of each product (you need not explain their relative percentages).
