Question

The dehydration of alcohols Under acidic conditions, alcohols will undergo a dehydration reaction, producing an alkene and water. During the reaction, the hydroxyl group of the alcohol and a hydrogen atom from an adjacent carbon atom are lost. The reaction takes place in three steps, as shown in the diagram. (Figure 1) In the first step, a hydrogen lon bonds to the hydroxyl group of the alcohol. In the second step, the protonated hydroxl group leaves the compound, resulting in the formation of a positive charge on the carbon atom. In the third step, a hydrogen atom from an adjacent carbon atom leaves as an ion, which provides the electrons to form a double bond. Part A Draw the major product for the dehydration of 2.pentanol. Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds), Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. The single bond is active by default.

please help

Answer 1

Part A; 2-pentand undorgo dehydration and form 2-pentance as the product. 2-pertanol (dehydration) 2-pentene. Part B. H ou dents de 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene So the name of the alcohol is 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol Parte The will giren akorol is ano secondary alcohol which give kehone on oxidation. се и, енем, 7 феси, , 1 Part A is Condensed structural formula of 3-penfamethion Hz C Cl2 CH (SH) CH2 CHy] Line angle formula of 3-pentare this | H3 CCH Part B.
