Chapter 7 Alkenes and Alkynes 1 Properties and Synthesis. Elimination Reactions of Alkyl Halides
Carbocation Stability and Transition State
Carbocation Stability and the Transition State The transition state that leads to the tertiary carbocation is lowest in free energy because it resembles the most stable product Secondary is not easily dehydrated and so as primary alcohol

Rearrangements during Dehydration of Secondary Alcohols
Mechanism
The rearrangement of Carbocation Methyl group migrates with its pair of electrons (-:CH3 ion) 1,2 shift
The arrangement of Carbocation
The arrangement of Carbocation
Example Acid-catalyze dehydration of neopentyl, (CH3)3CCH2OH, yields 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Outline a mechanism showing all steps in its formation
