Three isomeric pentanols with unbranched carbon chains exist. Which of these isomers, upon dehydration at 180C, yields only 1-pentene as a product?
Enamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.
