Question
Chapter 7, Problem 52P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures of carbocation intermediatesformed is to be determinedand the ions formedby methyl shift and the pathway that will predominates are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
>The dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohol proceeds through
The
Thestability order of carbocation is methyl
The carbocation can be stabilized by rearrangement due to the shift of hydride or methyl group of adjacent carbons.
>The selection of hydride or methyl group shift depends on the stability of the carbocation formed.

What are the assumptions made when using the Arrhenius equation to describe the effect of temperature on the transformation rate of a given compound? What is the range of activation energies typically observed for transformation reactions of organic compounds in the environment?
In the presence of excess base and excess halogen, a methyl ketone is converted to a carboxylate ion. The reaction is known as the haloform reaction because one of the products is haloform (chloroform, bromoform, or iodoform). Before spectroscopy became a routine analytical tool, the haloform reaction served as a test for methyl ketones: the formation of iodoform, a bright yellow compound, signaled that a methyl ketone was present. Why do only methyl ketones form a haloform?
What are the key breakdown fragmentation pathways of the product 4-methoxyphenyl acetate?
