Step by step solution

01

Dehydration reactions of alcohols

Alcohol dehydrations happen via the E1 mechanism. Dehydration happens well with tertiary alcohols. Rearrangements and poor yields are observed in primary alcohols.

02

Proposing a mechanism for each reaction

The first step in a dehydration reaction is conversion of the hydroxyl group into a good leaving group. In the next step, water is eliminated leading to the formation of the carbocation. The loss of proton produces the alkene.

(a)The mechanism for reaction a can be given as:

Mechanism of reaction a

(b)The mechanism for reaction b can be given as:

Mechanism for reaction b

(c)The mechanism for reaction c can be given as:

Mechanism for reaction c

(d)The mechanism for reaction d can be given as:

Mechanism for reaction d

Most popular questions from this chapter

To practice working through the early parts of a multistep synthesis, devise syntheses of

(a) pentan-3-one from alcohols containing no more than three carbon atoms.

(b) 3-ethylpentan-2-one from compounds containing no more than three carbon atoms.

Predict the products of the following reactions.

(a) cyclohexylmethanol + TsCl / pyridine (b) product of (a) + LiAlH4

(c) 1- methylcyclohexanol + H2SO4, heat (d) product of (c) + H2, Pt

Use resonance forms of the conjugate bases to explain why methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H,pKa= -2.6) is a much stronger acid than acetic acid (CH3COOH,pKa =4.8)

Trichloroisocyanuric acid, TCICA, also known as 鈥渟wimming pool chlorine,鈥� is a stable solid that oxidizes alcohols, following a mechanism similar to oxidation by HOCl. No reaction occurs between TCICA and the alcohol (in a solvent such as acetonitrile) until one drop of HCl(aq) is added, whereupon the reaction is over in a few minutes. Write the mechanism for this oxidation that shows the key role of the acid catalyst. Show the oxidation of just one alcohol, not three. (Hint: The carbonyls are the most basic sites on TCICA.)

Show how you would convert (S)-heptan-2-ol to

(a) (S)-2-chloroheptane.

(b) (R)-2-bromoheptane.

(c) (R)-heptan-2-ol.
