From the table‚ the result of dehydration of secondary alcohol is expected‚ and it undergoes E1 elimination. As supposed in the theory and mechanism‚ because elimination can occur both sides of secondary carbocation‚ so there are three products: 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene and cis-2-butene with three peaks. The main product is trans-2-butene‚ because it is the most stable compound. However‚ the result of dehydration of primary alcohol is not expected. It is supposed to form only one product‚ 1-butene

Formation of an Alkene by Alcohol Dehydration Lab Report Balanced Chemical Equation for the Main Reaction Mechanism The acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols involves non-isolable carbocation intermediaries. In the first step of the of the reaction mechanism below‚ a phosphoric acid catalyst adds a proton to the oxygen atom of the alcohol to form an oxonium ion. The OH is converted to a better leaving group as the positive charge on the oxygen weakens the carbon-oxygen

Alexandra Smith May 27‚ 2012 Cracking Aim: The aim of this experiment is break a larger alkane into smaller alkanes and alkenes. Theory: Fuels made from oil mixtures containing large hydrocarbon molecules are not efficient. They do not flow easily and are difficult to ignite. Crude oil often contains too many large hydrocarbon molecules and not enough small hydrocarbon molecules to meet demand. Cracking allows large hydrocarbon molecules to be broken down into smaller‚ more

Discussion The dehydration of an alcohol to an alkene follows a two step elimination reaction. The first step is determines the rate of the reaction and is dependent on the formation of the carbocation. In this experiment‚ the carbocation intermediate forms as the alcoholic hydroxyl group is protonated with acid‚ and dihydrogen oxide leaves. After this unimolecular dissociation step‚ a proton from one of the adjacent carbons is captured to reform the acid catalyst‚ and the elimination reaction is

Introduction Discovered by Georg Wittig in 1954‚ the Wittig reaction is a robust organic synthesis method for preparing stereospecific alkenes. In general‚ Wittig reactions involve an aldehyde or ketone and a Wittig reagent (triphenylphosphonium ylide) and result in the formation of an alkene product and triphenylphosphine oxide (side product). Stereospecific alkene products can be synthesized by adjusting the reaction reagents and conditions. In the 60 years since the Wittig reaction was discovered
