The dehydration of the alcohol functional group is a widely used reaction in organic chemistry. The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ______ step-wise process. The _____ mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ________________ style alkene as major product. The driving force for the production of this ________________ style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the ________ ____________.

Answer :

BATOLISISGO

Answer:

  1. Elimination
  2. Elimination
  3. Zaitsev
  4. Zaitsev
  5. Carbocation

Explanation:

  • The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
  • The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
  • The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents  from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds

The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an elimination step-wise process. The elimination mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a Zaitsev style alkene as major product. The driving force for the production of this Zaitsev style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the carbocation.

What is dehydration?

Dehydration is a process in which a water molecule releases from the given compound to form an unsaturated compound.

Dehydration process of alcohol is done by the elimination reaction in which water molecule eliminate and due to this dehydration we get an unsaturated product alkene. This dehydration process is go through the formation of carbocation which in turn forms the product. Stability of the product is determined by the Zaitsev rule and according to this rule most substituted product is the major and stable product.

Hence correct options are: Elimination, elimination, Zaitsev, Zaitsev and carbocation.
