Question
Using Zaitsev's rule, choose the most stable alkene among the following.
Draw out the structures of each of the options then select the correct answer.
Recall that Zaitsev's Rule is about alkene stability. The trend for this is similar to the
trend for carbocation stability. Either more or fewer groups on the alkene (and the
carbocation) make it more stable. This question is wanting you to remember if it's
more or fewer.
A) 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene
B) 1,6-dimethylcyclohexene
C)
cis-3,4-dimethylcyclohexene
D) They are all of equal stability according to Zaitsev's rule.
Provide the major dehydration product of the following reaction.
Recall which of the four substitution and elimination reactions a dehydration is.
Before you do your S# or EF mechanism, remember what heteroatoms do in the
presence of an acid (aka-the-OH is a bad leaving group, but protonating it might
turn it into a good one).
Don't forget to apply the concept from the previous question.
