Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The mechanism for the given reaction.
Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The
In acid-catalyzed dehydration, a saturated compound is converted to an unsaturated compound in the presence of an acid catalyst.
(b)
To determine: The mechanism for the given reaction.
Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The chemical reaction that consists of an alkyl halide, a good leaving group, reacts with Lewis base to form an alkene is termed as elimination reaction. In this reaction there is complete removal of the leaving group takes place without any substitution.
In acid-catalyzed dehydration, a saturated compound is converted to an unsaturated compound in the presence of an acid catalyst.
