Question

Transcribed Image Text:In radical chlorination of alkanes, non-equivalent hydrogens react with chlorine atoms at different rates. At 35 °C, primary, secondary, and tertiary C-H
bonds react at relative rates of 1: 3.9 : 5.2 respectively.
These are conditions of kinetic control where product ratios are determined by relative rates of formation. For example, if A is formed twice as fast as B,
the A:B product ratio will be 2.
Consider chlorination of the alkane below at 35 °C.
1. Specify the most reactive C-H bond(s), a-c.
Two non-equivalent C-H bonds of comparable reactivity should be separated by commas, i.e. a,c.
2. Specify the site of chlorination in the major monochloro substitution product, a-c.
Two products that form in comparable quantities should be separated by commas, i.e. a,c

The reaction involves the conversion of an alcohol into an alkene using a dehydration process. The student chooses to use concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as the catalyst for this reaction. However, during the reaction, the student notices that another product is formed along with the desired alkene. (a) What is the likely identity of the unexpected product formed during the reaction? Explain your answer. (b) Provide a plausible explanation for the formation of the unexpected product and suggest a modification to the reaction conditions that would favor the desired alkene as the major product.arrow_forward
