  1. What is Zaitsev’s rule?
  1. Give the mechanism for the acid-catalyzed E1 reaction of 2-butanol.
  1. Give the mechanism for the base-catalyzed E2 reaction of 2-bromobutane. Draw all possible products.
  1. You expect three products from the elimination reaction 2-butanol. What are they?
  1. The E2 mechanism is a one-step mechanism. True or False? Explain.
  1. Which of these two alcohols would you expect to be more reactive under H3PO4/aqueous conditions? Why? Give the structure of the main product in both cases.

1-phenyl-1-propanol

1 -cyclohexyl-1-propanol

  1. Give the structures for the alkenes produced by the dehydration of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol with concentrated H2SO4. Circle the major product.
  1. You are given a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid (13 M). However, you need 1 M sulfuric acid, and nobody is present in the prep room to make it for you. How would you make 200 mL of the 1 M aqueous solution?
  1. You perform the reaction of 2 mL pinacolyl alcohol (3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol, d = 0.812 g/mL) with 5 mL of a mixture of concentrated phosphoric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. You collect the product, and obtain 0.85 g. What is the product? Calculate the % yield.
