Comprehension Based

Paragraph –I

The dehydration of alcohols and the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides by treatment of hydrogen halides are similar in two important ways suggesting the formation of carbocation as key intermediate.
(a) Both reactions are protonated by acids.
(b) The reactivity of alcohols decrease in the order, tertiary > secondary>primary due to the formation of stable carbocations, which is stabilized by hyperconjugation and +I effect. The dehydration of alcohol follows three steps mechanism for acidbase catalysed dehydration of least stable tertiary butyl alcohol,

In step I, protonation (acid catalysed) of tert-butyl alcohol takes place. In step II, dissociation of tert-butyloxenium ion takes place followed by formation of carbocation. Alkene is formed in step III by deprotonation (base catalysed) of tert-butyl cation

Another important reaction of alcohols is iodoform reaction given by ethanol (in primary alcohols) and are secondary alcohols having 2-ol nature. Such alcohols give yellow ppt. of CHI₃ with NaOH and I₂ solution.

Question. Why dehydration of vinyl alcohol is not difficult?
a. Due to high enthalpy of vinylic —C—OH bond
b. Due to unstable nature of = C—OH bond by tautomerism

d. Both (a) and (b) are correct
Answer : D

Question. Which carbocation will not form an intermediate?

Answer : C

Question. Which will give iodoform test?
a. 2-methylpropan-2-ol
