product of elimination reaction
(1/1)
myelver10:
what would be the major product of the following reation
2-methyl-1-butanol with H2SO4 and heat
i'm having trouble with understanding with what to look for in solving these type of eliminations especially with identifying the beta-carbon.
would the answer possibly be 2-methyl-1-butene?
movies:
Yep, that'd be the product I would expect. You might see some 2-hexene from a carbocation rearrangement too though.
