Question
Chapter 4.16A, Problem 4.28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The explanation for the high stability of triphenylmethyl cation is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The delocalization of lone pair or free electrons from one atom to another is known as resonance. The stability of compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. More the resonating structures of compound more would be its stability.
To determine: The explanation for the high stability of triphenylmethyl cation.

NaNH2 is typically used instead of KOH to produce alkynes through elimination because NaNH2 is a stronger base. Explain why KOH can be used to create diphenylacetylene.
Compound A and compound B are in equilibrium. Write a stepwise mechanism from compound Ato compound B showing ALL intermediates. Use curved arrows to symbolize the flow of electrons to show how each of the intermediates and products are formed. Show all lone pairs and formal charges. Lastly, explain which compound (Aor B) will be in higher concentration.
Organic Chemistry
Acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-1-butanol produces 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Also acid catalyzed dehydration reaction of 3-methyl-1-butanol give the same product as major product. Explain the reason why both of the reaction produce the same product as the major product.
