Question
Chapter 14.7, Problem 14.12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The mechanism for the formation of n- propyl ether and propene from n-propyl and the reason corresponding to the formation of propene is favoured at high temperature is to be stated.
Concept introduction: In an elimination reaction, a substituent is removed from the compound and this removal of a substituent leads to the formation of a bond.
In a substitution reaction, one molecule or atom is replaced by the other molecule or atom from the compound
To determine: The mechanism for the formation of n- propyl ether and propene from n-propyl and the reason corresponding to the formation of propene is favoured at high temperature.
