Chapter 23, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compounds A and B are to be identified in the given reaction.

Concept introduction:

Phenols contain hydroxyl (OH) functional group attached to an aromatic ring.

Phenols undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction due to the presence of the hydroxyl group that activates itself towards electrophilic substitution. The hydroxyl group causes the resonance effect due to which the ortho and para positions of phenol ring become electron rich.

Dehydration of 2,2,3,4,4,-pentamethyl-3-pentanol gives two alkenes A and B. Ozonolysis of A gives formaldehyde and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3- pentanone. Ozonolysis of B gave formaldehyde and 3,3,4,4-tetramethyl-2-pentanone. Identify and draw the structures of A and B, and explain how B could be formed in the dehydration reaction.
Following are 1H-NMR spectra for compounds B (C6H12O2) and C (C6H10O). Upon warming in dilute acid, compound B is converted to compound C. Deduce the structural formulas for compounds B and C.
Dehydration of 2,2,3,4,4-pentamethyl-3-pentanol gave two alkenes A and B. Ozonolysis of the lower boiling alkene A gave formaldehyde (H2C= O) and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3- pentanone. Ozonolysis of B gave formaldehyde and 3,3,4,4-tetramethyl-2-pentanone. Identify A and B, and suggest an explanation for the formation of B in the dehydration reaction.
