- 17-60 1-Propanol can be prepared by the reduction of an aldehyde, but it cannot be prepared by the acid catalyzed hydration of an alkene. Explain why it cannot be prepared from an alkene.arrow_forward14-49 Answer true or false. Today, the major carbon sources for the synthesis of methanol are coal and methane (natural gas), both nonrenewable resources. Today the major carbon sources for the synthesis of ethanol are petroleum and natural gas, both nonrenewable resources. Intermolecular acid-catalyzed dehydration of ethanol gives diethyl ether. Conversion of ethylene to ethylene glycol involves oxidation to ethylene oxide, followed by acid-catalyzed hydration (addition of water, to ethylene oxide. Ethylene glycol is soluble in water in all proportions. A major use of ethylene glycol is as automobile antifreeze.arrow_forward17-67 Draw structural formulas for these compounds.
