Question
Chapter 10.7, Problem BQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The intermediate in the Pinacol rearrangement that can be stabilized by resonance delocalization has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Pinacol rearrangement: For all glycols Pinacol rearrangement occurs. Unsymmetrical vicinal
Step 1: Add proton (protonation of Pinacol using acid catalyst).
Step 2: Break a bond to give a stable molecules or ions (formation of carbocation).
Step 3: 1, 2-shift (migration of substituent from
Step 4: deprotonation occurs (take a proton away).

At 0°C, the following product composition is observed: product A
(80%), product B (20%). At 100°C, the following product
composition is observed: product A (25%), product B (75%).
6. Why does addition product A predominate at the lower
temperature (0°C)?
A. The reaction is equilibrium controlled: product A is more
stable than product B, so
product A predominates.
B. The reaction is kinetically controlled: product A forms faster,
so product A predominates.
C. Product A predominates because it has more ] electron
delocalization than product B.
D. Product A is less sterically hindered, so it predominates.
