Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
Just ignore such kind of people....
Answer:
Igneous rock is the type of rock that forms as a result of cooling an crystallization
Explanation:
- Rocks are either sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic based on the chemical composition and the mode of formation.
- Igneous rocks are formed as a result of the cooling and crystallization of magma from volcanic eruptions.
- Igneous rocks are either intrusive, which form deep in the crust or extrusive which form on the surface of the earth.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of deposition, and cementation of sediments.
- Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, are formed from the sedimentary and igneous rocks during the rock cycle.
