Below is a mechanism that represents the following single reaction sequence: a certain alcohol undergoes acid- catalyzed dehydration (conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion) to form an alkene product. Write the IUPAC name of the product. Include E/Z stereochemistry.
Hint: Name of the substituent of the product is similar to that of reactant.
While dehydrating 2-Methlycyclohexanol to 1-Methlycyclohexanol, and 3-Methlycyclohexanol
1)what is the common problem associate with E1 reaction? Discuss the intermediate.
2) Briefly compare and contrast E1 vs E2 Elimination reactions. INclude details such as speed of the reactions in relation to each other, rate-determining steps (E1), and stereochemical requirements (E2). Mention whether the steps of the reactions are reversible and discuss the conditions that can drive the equilibrium to favor product formation.
