Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2,2-dimethyl-1-hexanol gave a number of isomeric alkenes
Chapter 5, Problem 5.50(choose chapter or problem)
Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2,2-dimethyl-1-hexanol gave a number of isomeric alkenes including 2-methyl-2-heptene as shown in the following equation. H2SO4 heat OH (a) Write a stepwise mechanism for the formation of 2-methyl-2-heptene, using curved arrows to show the flow of electrons. (b) What other alkenes do you think are formed in this reaction?
