Concept introduction:
Dehydration reaction:
Removal of water molecule from the reaction when the alcohol is treated with strong acid like sulfuric acid.
Alcohol is reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid, first alcohol gets protonated forms carbocation (more stable carbocation) followed by elimination of proton (
Tertiary carbocation is more stable than the secondary, secondary carbocation is more stable than primary.
In dehydration reaction, sulfuric acid is act as a proton donor, and which is used to protonate the alcohol and makes carbocation therefore sulfuric acid is the driving force of the reaction. Dehydration reaction will not go without acid (sulfuric acid).

- What functional group is formed on oxidation of a secondary alcohol? Demonstrate your answer using isopropanol.arrow_forwardThe concentration of alcohol 1CH3CH2OH2 in blood, calledthe “blood alcohol concentration” or BAC, is given in unitsof grams of alcohol per 100 mL of blood. The legal definitionof intoxication, in many states of the United States, is that theBAC is 0.08 or higher. What is the concentration of alcohol,in terms of molarity, in blood if the BAC is 0.08?arrow_forward1. Rank the following amines from lowest to highest boiling point. Explain your reasoning.
