Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the given dehydration reactions is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
E1 reaction indicates an elimination unimolecular reaction. It is a two-step reaction.
Step one involves an acid-base reaction. Here the protonation of alcoholic oxygen takes place, which makes it a better leaving group. This step is fast and reversible. Step two involves, the cleavage of

- A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:arrow_forwardWhich mechanism is used in this reaction.
