Zaitsev’s rule is used in predicting the major product for some
- a. alcohol dehydration reactions
- b. primary alcohol oxidation reactions
- c. secondary alcohol oxidation reactions
- d. no correct response
Interpretation:
In what reaction Zaitsev’s rule is used to predict the major product has to be identified from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Dehydration reaction is the loss of water from a single reactant. Alcohol undergoes dehydration reaction to form alkene. Sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst for hydration of alkene at room temperature. The same sulfuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent when treated with alcohol at high temperature.
If there are more than one product can be formed from the alcohol, the major product is decided by Zaitsev’s rule. This rule states that, the major product formed in an alcohol dehydration is the alkene that has more number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond.
Reason for correct option:
Dehydration reaction is the removal of water molecule from a single reactant. Zaitsev’s rule decides the major product that is formed in the alcohol dehydration reaction.
Therefore, option (a) is the correct one.
Reason for incorrect option:
Option (b) tells that the major product in primary alcohol oxidation reaction is predicted using Zaitsev’s rule. But Zaitsev’s rule is used in predicting the major product of alcohol dehydration reaction...
