(a)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products of the reaction of tertiary alcohol with concentrated sulphuric acid
Concept Introduction:
The reaction of tertiary alcohols with strong acids usually results in a dehydration reaction, which is the loss of water molecules from the reactant. This dehydration of alcohol usually results in the formation of an
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction of cyclopentanol with Tosyl chloride followed by a reaction with sodium ethoxide is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Tosyl chloride on reacting with alcoholic groups forms tosylates, which protects the alcoholic group and is a second substrate. It facilitates further reactions in which the otherwise open alcoholic group would hinder the rate and yield of the reactions.
