Draw the major product for the dehydration of 2-pentanol.draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the tools (for bonds), atoms, and advanced template toolbars. the single bond is active by default.

Respuesta :

Answer is: major product for the dehydration of 2-pentanol are 1-pentene (CH₂=CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃) and 2-pentene (CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-CH₃) and water.
Adding hot, concentrated sulfuric acid to a secondary alkanol eliminates a water molecule from the organic molecule in a dehydration reaction.
2-pentanol, CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CHOH-CH₃ s an unsymmetrical secondary alcohol. 

The removal of the water from the compound during the reaction is called dehydration.

The reagent used for the dehydration of the alcohol is as follows:-

  • Concentrated sulfuric acid
  • Concentrated phosphoric

The dehydration products of the 2- pentanol are as follows:-

  • 1 pentene
  • 2 pentene

The structure of the 1 pentene is (CH₂=CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃) and the structure of the 2 pentene is (CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-CH₃).

The single bond represents the sigma bond and the double bond represents Pi bond.
