Chapter 10, Problem 10.4P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The alkene formed by the acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction of 3- methyl -3- heptanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dehydration of alcohol leads to the formation of the alkene. This dehydration can be done by the acid-catalyzed mechanism. In this mechanism, the first step is the abstraction of a proton by the hydroxide group. The second step is the removal of water to give an intermediate “carbocation”. The third step is the generation of an alkene by the removal of β- hydrogen from the intermediate.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The alkene(s) formed by the acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction of 1, 2- diphenyl -1- ethanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dehydration of alcohol leads to the formation of the alkene. This dehydration can be done acid-catalyzed mechanism. In this mechanism first step is the abstraction of a proton by the hydroxide group. The second step is the removal of water to give an intermediate “carbocation”. The third step is the generation of an alkene by the removal of β- hydrogen from the intermediate.

Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2,2-dimethyl-1-hexanol gave a number of isomeric alkenes including 2-methyl-2-heptene as shown in the following equation.(a) Write a stepwise mechanism for the formation of 2-methyl-2-heptene, using curved arrows to show the flow of electrons. (b) What other alkenes do you think are formed in this reaction?
Offer at least two methods for the preparation: a) ethyl bromide, b) iso-propanol.
An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO4 to give diol B. When oxidized with KMnO4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH2CO2H, and the other fragment is ketone C. What are the structures of A, B, and C? Write all reactions, and show your reasoning.
