why do you observe a change in ratio at the end?
Evelyn effect
Evelyn effect
a phenomenon in organic chemistry where the product ratios in a reaction, specifically the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol, change over time
rank the products in order of how favored their formation
1-Methylcyclohexene > 3-Methylcyclohexene > Methylenecyclohexane
why are the products favored in that way?
Zaitsev Rule
Zaitsev Rule
predicts the major product of an elimination reaction, stating that the most substituted alkene is the most stable and will be the major product
1-Methylcyclohexene
3-Methylcyclohexene
methylenecyclohexane
what is necessary for a reaction to undergo an elimination reaction?
anti-parallel/anti-periplanar beta hydrogens
180° opposite the leaving group
what were the droplets at the bottom of the test tubes?
water also produced during the reaction
on the bottom because it was more dense than the products
