Question

I. Introduction Define B-elimination reactions generally and dehydration specifically. Include a separate, labeled figure depicting an overall reaction and mechanism for dehydration of cyclohexanol. Explain Zaitsev's Rule and give an example of a cyclohexanol isomer that could demonstrate Zaitsev's rule in an acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction. II. Objective of This Experiment Describe the type of reaction performed and the specific starting material. Include a figure (prepared in ChemDraw) depicting the overall reaction performed in the lab and a proposed mechanism.

Answer 1

A chemical deaction in which atoms or grups CH and oh in the case of dehydration) ane last thom adjacent atoms, resulting in the bormation ob new x-bond is called B-elimination Reaction you are throay cone. Hasoy n+bo neseryone, d MECHANISM - 7 ROS? step -tho Hy sal + a Zaitsev hule@ saytzetts hule elimination reaction, the more states that in substituted an product and less substituted product will be the major product minok product. will be con cone things at Hottmann product Zaitsev product more substituted product as Substituted product
