Question
Chapter 25.3, Problem CQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reaction included in the formation of steps 5 and 6 has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The keto-group of carbonyl compound is in equilibrium with the enol form which contains alcohol group. The two groups are in equilibrium with each other and the enol form contains a double bonded carbon atoms adjacent to the alcohol group. The keto and enol compounds are said to be Tautomers and the mechanism is known as keto-enol tautomerization.

Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols eventhough 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, asshown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwisemechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see anotherexample of this type of rearrangement

- For the dehydrohalogenation (E2) reaction shown, draw the Zaitsev product(s) resulting from elimination involving C2–C3 (i.e., the carbon atoms depicted with stereobonds). Show the product stereochemistry clearly. If there is more than one organic product, both products may be drawn in the same box. Ignore elimination involving C2 or C3 and any carbon atom other than C3 or C2.arrow_forwardRearrangements 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].
