Q

react by an E1 mechanism

A

2 and 3 alcohols

34
Q

react by an E2 mechanism

A

1 alcohols

35
Q

E1 mechanism

A
  1. the O atom is protonated: protonation converts a poor leaving group into a good one
  2. the C-O bond is broken: heterolysis of the C-O bond forms a carbocation
  3. a C-H bond is cleaved and the pi bond is formed: a base removes a proton from a carbon adjacent to the carbocation
36
Q

E2 mechanism

A
  1. The O atom is protonated
  2. The C-H and C-O bonds are broken and the pi bond is formed
37
Q

favors product formation in dehydration

A

entropy

38
Q

favors reactants

A

enthalpy

39
Q

equilibrium will react to counteract any disturbance to the equilibrium

A

Le chatelier’s principle

40
Q

removing a product as it is formed drives the equilibrium to the _____ forming more product

A

right

41
Q

a less stable carbocation will be converted into a more stable one

A

rearrangement

42
Q

movement of a hydrogen atom

A

1,2-hydride shift

43
Q

movement of an alkyl group

A

1,2- alkyl shift

44
Q

carbocation rearrangement during dehydration

A

1 and 2: protonation of the oxygen atom
3: rearrangement of the carbocation by a 1,2- CH3 shift
4: loss of a proton to form the pi bond

45
Q

can convert a less stable carbocation into a more stable carbocation

A

1,2 shift

46
Q
  • not unique to dehydration reactions
  • can occur whenever a carbocation is formed as a reactive intermediate
A

rearrangements

47
Q

si el carbo cation esta en su estado de energía mas bajo (3) no hay que hacer más

A

49
Q

mecanismo SN2

A
  1. the O atom is protonated

50
Q

Sn1 mechanism

A
  1. the O atom is protonated
    2 and 3. the C-O bond is broken as the C-Br bond is formed (with a carbocation as the intermediate)
