(a) Out of t-butyl alcohol and n-butanol, which one will undergo acid catalyzed dehydration faster and why ?
(b) Carry out the following conversions :
(i) Phenol to Salicylaldehyde
(ii) t-butylchloride to t-butyl ethyl ether
(iii) Propene to Propanol
(a) Tert-butyl alcohol will undergo acid catalyzed dehydration faster, because it forms more stable 3o carbocation than 1o carbocation.
(b)
(i) Phenol to Salicylaldehyde
(ii) t-butylchloride to t-butyl ethyl ether
(iii) Propene to Propanol
