- Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2].

Each arrow may represent more than one elementary step in a mechanism.Arrows 1 and 2 summarize the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides, 3 and 4 the dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide to an alkene by the E1 mechanism, and 1 and 4 the formation of an alkene by dehydration of an alcohol. The reaction indicated by arrow 5 constitutes a major focus of the next chapter. There we will explore reactions that give overall addition to the double bond by way of carbocation intermediates. One such process converts alkenes to alkyl halides (5 + 2), another converts alkenes to alcohols (5 + 6).What term best describes the relationship between an alkene and a carbocation? A. Isomers B. Resonance contributors C. Alkene is conjugate acid of carbocation D. Alkene is conjugate base of carbocationarrow_forward
