Chapter 7.11, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three alkenes which are formed in the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2pentanol are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

>

The dehydration of alcohol results in the loss of H2O molecule and formation of the corresponding alkene.

>

The H and OH are lost from adjacent carbons.

>

In case of primary alcohols, only one product is formed, but in case of secondary and tertiary alcohols, there is a possibility of more than one product formation whenthecarbon attached to the OH group is bonded to nonequivalent adjacent carbons.

>

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.
