Question
Chapter 7, Problem 52P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures of carbocation intermediatesformed is to be determinedand the ions formedby methyl shift and the pathway that will predominates are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
>The dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohol proceeds through
The
Thestability order of carbocation is methyl
The carbocation can be stabilized by rearrangement due to the shift of hydride or methyl group of adjacent carbons.
>The selection of hydride or methyl group shift depends on the stability of the carbocation formed.

- In the reaction of trans-cinnamaldehyde under the conditions of 2-propanol and gamma-Al2O3, the product yielded is cinnamyl alcohol. When the reaction was first performed the GC and IR showed signals of the formation of a carbocation-like intermediate on the phenyl ring. The 2-propanol used contained high amounts of HCl. How does the high amount of HCl in 2-propanol affect gamma-Al2O? Also, show the intermediate that was formed? The second reaction performed did not contain high amounts of HCl so the product formed was cinnamyl alcohol.
