Acidic dehydration of 1- butanol - butane as the major product and not1-butene. Why? Explain with equations |

Answer» - DEHYDRATION REACTION of an alcohol can be represented as:Dehydration reaction of an alcohol can be represented as:CH−C−OH^H+ −C=C−−C=C−Primary alcohol undergo dehydration via E2 mechanism and secondary and TERTIARY alcohol undergo dehydration by E1 mechanism via most stable carbocation formation through rearrangement.−C=C−Primary alcohol undergo dehydration via E2 mechanism and secondary and tertiary alcohol undergo dehydration by E1 mechanism via most stable carbocation formation through rearrangement.For 2-methylcyclohexanol the dehydration product is 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene or 1-methylcyclohexene −C=C−Primary alcohol undergo dehydration via E2 mechanism and secondary and tertiary alcohol undergo dehydration by E1 mechanism via most stable carbocation formation through rearrangement.For 2-methylcyclohexanol the dehydration product is 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene or 1-methylcyclohexene and For Butan-1-ol the dehydration product is But-1-ene.HOPE THIS WILL HELPS YOUTHANK you!! |
