Answer:
The major product is 2-methyl-2-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ ] and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene [ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ ].
Explanation:
Dehydration reaction is a reaction in which a molecule loses a water molecule in the presence of a dehydrating agent like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
<u>Dehydration reaction of 2-methyl-2-pentanol</u> gives a major product 2-methyl-2-pentene and a minor product 2-methyl-1-pentene.
CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)₂-OH (2-methyl-2-pentanol)→ CH₃-CH₂-CH=C(CH₃)₂ (2-methyl-2-pentene, major) + CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C(CH₃)=CH₂ (2-methyl-1-pentene, minor)
<u>Since more substituted alkene is more stable than the less substituted alkene. So, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is more stable than the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene.</u>
<u>Therefore, the trisubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-2-pentene is the major product and the disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-1-pentene is the minor product.</u>
I guess is weak alkaline. when the substance is more acidic, there will be less alkalinity
