Question

The following reaction takes place in acidic conditions under rigorous heating. Complete the reaction mechanism adding missing atoms and using lone pairs, charges, and curved arrows as necessary. Ignore hydrogen sulfate in boxes 2 and 3. mygrngen suliade in oxen 2 atosad using lone pairs, charges, and curved arrows as necessary. lgnor OH H2SO H,SO

Answer 1

Solution :-

In the first step alcoholic OH abstract the proton from the aulfuric acid

Then water molecules is removed and the carbocation is formed .

The secondary carbocation is less stable therefore the C-C bond shifted to fom a more stable carbocation that is tertiary carbocation.
