Question
Chapter 10.7, Problem AQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In the Pinacol rearrangement name of the intermediate with a positive charge on carbon has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Pinacol rearrangement: For all glycols Pinacol rearrangement occurs. Unsymmetrical vicinal
Step 1: Add proton (protonation of Pinacol using acid catalyst).
Step 2: Break a bond to give a stable molecules or ions (formation of carbocation).
Step 3: 1, 2-shift (migration of substituent from
Step 4: deprotonation occurs (take a proton away).
