Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The two possible resonance structures for the radical formed by the homolysis of indicated bond in propene are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: In
Resonance is the delocalisation of
(b)
Interpretation: The half-headed curved arrows are to be used to illustrate the conversion of one resonance structure to other.
Concept introduction: Curved arrows aid in determining the movement and flow of electrons in the reaction. The electrons that take part in the
Half headed arrows are used to show the flow of single electrons, while the full headed arrow shows the movement of electron pairs.
(c)
Interpretation: The structure of the resonance hybrid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Resonance is the delocalisation of

The reaction involves the conversion of an alcohol into an alkene using a dehydration process. The student chooses to use concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as the catalyst for this reaction. However, during the reaction, the student notices that another product is formed along with the desired alkene. (a) What is the likely identity of the unexpected product formed during the reaction? Explain your answer. (b) Provide a plausible explanation for the formation of the unexpected product and suggest a modification to the reaction conditions that would favor the desired alkene as the major product.arrow_forward
