Document Summary
1 predict the products (8 questions: 2 or 3 questions. Water can act as a base or a nucleophile. Hso4- = bisulphate = weak base (because h+ is a strong acid: on exam. Dehydration os a regioselective reaction -> exam question: predict the products. The more stable alkene goes by saystaff rule most stable alkene and most substituents: major product is most stable alkene. Tertiary groups = stabilize plus charge = most stable. E1 forming a carbocation and its sticking around. Aldehydes are more reactive then ketones so easily formed. Primary alcohol oxidation acid aldehyde aldehyde vinegar. Secondary in oxidation ketones: moment aldehyde is formed gets oxidized to acetic acid (vinegar, ketone cant get further oxidized. Potassium tertiary butoxide (t butyl) only a base 3 ch3 groups creating a steric group non nucleophilic base: usually elimination, non nucleophilic base, on exam. I need to know isopropyl, t butyl, and all of the iso: ch3ch3ch.
