Question

Which product is which? (Circle one) 2-methyl-1-butene Zaitsev Hofmann Neither 2-methyh2-butene Zaitsev Hofmann Neither True or False: This GC analysis will not require a response factor run because the products are constitutional isomers. The molar ratio of products will be equivalent to the peak, area ratio GC is not precise enough to differentiate between two compounds that are constitutional isomers. As a result, only one peak will appear on the gas chromatogram. The retention time for a particular compound depends solely on the FID. The distribution of elimination products depends solely on the strength of the base used.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

8. 2-methyl 1-butene is Hofmann product. Because removal of proton from less substituted carbon favors Hofmann product.

2-methyl 2-butene is Zaitsev product. Because removal of proton from beta carbon favors Zaitsev product.

9. a) GC analysis of this products will not require response factor because these are constitutional isomers. the response factor is same. (True)

b) The molar ratio of product=ratio between area of product peak and total area (True)

c)
