The
Concept Introduction:
When H2O is lost from a material it is called dehydration. When an alcohol is treated with a strong acid such as H2SO4, a water molecule is lost by breaking two adjacent bonds C-OH and C-H and forming a new double bond, producing an alkene. This is an elimination reaction.
In this reaction more than one type of alkene may produce. But one of them is the major product.
According to Zaitsev rule, the major product alkene formed by elimination, is that which possess more alkyl groups bonded to it
(b)
Interpretation:
The alkene formed when the given alcohol is treated with H2SO4 should be determined. The major product should be predicted using Zaitsev rule.

- Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a ß-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH reduces the C-Hg bond to a C-H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structure of the Hg-containing compound and the final alcohol product formed in the reaction sequence.
