Chemistry 2401 Experiment 7 Acid Catalyzed Dehydration of 3.3-Dimethyl-2-Butanol with Rearrangement Experiment 7 Pre-lab Assignment Dehydration of 3,3-Dimethyl-2-Butanol 1. Draw the structures of all the expected products from the following reactions: a) 3-methyl-3-pentanol + H = b)2-methylcyclohexanol + H - c) 2-methyl-2-butanol + H - d) 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanol + H = This reaction will give a complex mixture of products, since rearrangements can occur. Show the full mechanism for this reaction and how the possible products can form from the carbocation...
E1 eliminations of alkyl halides are rarely useful for synthetic purposes because they give mixtures of substitution and elimination products. Explain why the sulfuric acid-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol gives a good yield of cyclohexene even though the reaction goes by an E1 mechanism. (Hint: What are the nucleophiles in the reaction mixture? What products are formed if these nucleophiles attack the carbocation? What further reactions can these substitution products undergo?)

I am writing a prelab for this experiment, but am struggling on how to figure out what the balanced chemical equation is. Any help is much appreciated, thank you! DEHYDRATION OF 2-METHYLCYCLOHEXANOL Prelab: Do parts 1-3 including finding the limiting reactant and theoretical yield. You will not get credit for your prelab if you do not do this. You must also write out the balanced equation. The one given below is not balanced. Read: Organic Chemistry by Carey, p. 250-257;...
how does the mixture of isomeric alkenes produced by an acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction compare with the alkene mixture from a base-catalyzed dehydrochlorination reaction? Are either or both sets or products influenced primarily by product stability? E1/E2 Elimination Reactions.

Acid Catalyzed Hydration-treatment of alkenes with water in the presence of acid catalyst leads to the formation of alcohols. H2SO4/H2O > 150°C Mechanism Major Product Acid catalyzed dehydration goes through a carbocation intermediate. This means that the Markovnikov product is obtained when carbocation rearrangements do not occur. The need for excessively high temperatures makes this reaction of limited use in laboratory synthesis. Oxymercuration - Oxymercuration involves the addition of Hg to the alkene using mercury (II) acetate Hg(OAc) followed by...

Acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene yields an alcohol with Markovnikov regiochemistry. The electrophilic H+ adds to the sp2 carbon with the most hydrogens to yield the most stable carbocation intermediate, which then adds water to give the product alcohol. Because a carbocation intermediate is formed, rearrangements can occur prior to the addition of water. To avoid the possibility of rearrangement and still give a Markovnikov alcohol, alkenes can instead be treated with mercury(II) acetate in aqueous THF and then subsequently...
