Answer:
Most substituted alkene is produced as a major product
Explanation:
- Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol proceeds through E1 mechanism to form alkenes.
- Most substituted alkene is produced as major product because of presence of highest number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms corresponding to the produced double bond (Saytzeff product).
- Here, a H-shift also occurs in one of the intermediate step during dehydration to produce more stable tertiary carbocation.
- Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
Answer:
trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.
Explanation:
Here,
H(hydrogenated pdt.) is same for both 1,4-pentadiene and 1,3-pentadiene as they both produce pentane after hydrogenation
H(diene) depends on stability of diene.
More stable a diene, lesser will be it's H(diene) value (more neagtive).
trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.
Hence, is higher (less negative) for trans-1,3-pentadiene
