When trans-2-methylcylopentanol is subjected to
acid catalyzed dehydration, the major product is 1-
methylcylopentene. However, when trans-l-bromo-2-cyclopentanol is subjected to dehydrohalogenations the major products is 3-methylcyclopentene:
A. Write the mechanism for the first reaction, the
dehydration. Make sure to include all formal charges and lone pair electrons.
B. Explain why a different alkene is obtained in the
second reaction.
C. Which halide and base you should use to obtain the same alkene, 1-methylcylopentene, as in the first reaction.
D. What would be the reaction rates expressions for beach of the two reactions?
