According to Zaitsev rule, the most substituted alkene is the major product.
>If the double bond has different groups attached, then there is a possibility of the formation of stereoisomers as cis and trans forms of the alkene.
>The trans alkene is more stable than cis alkene, hence, a trans alkene is a major product and cis alkene is a minor product.

- Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forwardIdentify the most important aldehyde and ketone from Section 14.4 on the basis of amount used, and list at least one characteristic for each that contributes to its usefulness.arrow_forwardList the following compounds in order of increasing water solubility: a.ethoxyethane b.propanoic acid c.pentane d.1 butanolarrow_forward
