Concept Introduction:
A
In a chemical reaction, the substance which is involved in conversion is said to be a reactant, whereas the newly formed substance is known as a product. Both reactants and products must be separated by an arrow.
A dehydration reaction is an elimination reaction in which a water molecule eliminates from alcohol to form
Answer to Problem 58P
Explanation of Solution
To get the dehydrated product of any alcohol, three steps must be followed:
- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Eliminate H and OH group from two adjacent C's
- Add a double bond between these C's to form the product alkene.
- If there is a possibility to form two or more alkene, the major product has more C's bonded to the C=C. This is known as the Zaitsev rule.
Hence, the dehydration of 4-methylpentanol will form 4-methyl-1-pentene molecule.

Concept Introduction:
A chemical reaction is the symbolic representation of the conversion of substances to new substances.

Answer to Problem 58P
Explanation of Solution
To get the dehydrated product of any alcohol, three steps must be followed;
- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Eliminate H and OH group from two adjacent C's
- Add a double bond between these C's to form the product alkene.
- If there is a possibility to form two or more alkene, the major product has more C's bonded to the C=C. This is known as the Zaitsev rule.
Hence, the dehydration of given alcohol will form only one alkene as all H next to −OH are the same.

Answer to Problem 58P

- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Eliminate H and OH groups from two adjacent C's.

- If there is a possibility to form two or more alkene, the major product has more C's bonded to the C=C. This is known as the Zaitsev rule.
Hence, the dehydration of 2-octanol can form two alkenes as both the neighbor C of OH group have H atoms. Hence, dehydration of 2-octanol will follow Zaitsev rule and will form 2-octene as the major product and 1-octene as a minor product as 2-octene is more substituted alkene than 1-octene.

Hence the dehydration of given alcohol can form two alkenes as both the neighbor C of OH group have H atoms. Hence dehydration of 1-methylcyclopentanol will follow Zaitsev rule and will form 1-methylcyclpentene as the major product and methylenecyclopentane as a minor product, as 1-methylcyclpentene is more substituted alkene than methylenecyclopentane.
