The first step in an E1 dehydration is the generation of a carbocation. This can be accomplished by breaking an alpha carbon-carbon bond, which leaves a hydrogen atom on one end and a double bond on the other end. In this reaction, we see that the 2,3-dimethylpentan-3-ol undergoes such a reaction to form a tertiary carbocation. The next step is deprotonation of this tertiary carbon to yield another carbocation and finally elimination or substitution from this second carbocation to form our final product; 3-methylbutyl chloride.

It would be more difficult for the average person who has not had formal chemistry training, but still fairly easy to understand due to the use of simple English and plenty of visuals. There are some minor nuances in this content that may require an expert chemist’s attention, so it is best suited for those with intermediate knowledge on chemical reactions or chemists looking for specific information related specifically to reactants being used in their own laboratory experiments.
The first step in an e-E has two outcomes: one that forms a zaitsev product and the other which produces a conjugated dienone. The form of this reaction determines whether or not hydrogen is being added to C=C bonds (ene process) or if it’s removing electrons from them (dehydration). In addition, there are several different ways the reactants can be classified when determining how they will react during dehydration processes such as condensation reactions, Claisen rearrangements, reductions/alkylations reactions with Grignards reagent. These pathways all have specific requirements for success and failure points along their pathway depending on what type of dehydrating mechanism was used by scientists.
A dehydration process is when the hydrogen from a molecule is removed to form an alcohol. A dehydration reaction can be classified as either Zaitsev or conjugated dienone, depending on how the reactants are categorized.
E-Z reactions take place in two steps: one where electrons are transferred to C=C bonds and another where molecules of H+ remove protons which makes it into water. In these types of reactions, strong bases such as NaOH will work because they have stronger delocalization than weak ones like Ca(OAc)+. This leads to less stability for E-E processes with weaker acids and more product formed during traditional zaitsev dehydrations (since there’s no electron transfer).
As a result, the E-Z reaction is generally favored when reactants are categorized as “dienone” because it leads to a more favorable Zaitsev product.
E-E reactions take place in one step and involve electron transfer from C=C bonds, which can be seen through how some carbonyl compounds undergo anions with ease. This makes them bad for our needs since they have no conjugated double bond system at all. It also makes these types of processes less thermodynamically stable so they’re not well suited for this type of dehydration process either way you categorize your reactants (since products don’t end up being formed).
As a result, the E-E reaction is generally favored when reactants are categorized as “anion” because it leads to a more favorable Zaitsev product.
For the E-Z reaction, one of our electrons will come off in order for us to form an electron deficient double bond with hydrogen (which is why we end up forming water molecules). This makes this type easier than what would happen with carbonyl compounds and produces less energy so that’s not just thermodynamically stable but also energetically favorable. We have no conjugated triple or quadruple bonds here though so these reactions are limited by stability and kinetic barriers too, meaning they can’t be used for dehydrating processes involving complex substrates like glucose where you need a lot of reactivity at once. The compensatory thing is that the Zaitsev product has a lower activation energy. This means it’s easier to break our double bond, but we also need less energy in order for us to re-form it once again.
What this all boils down to though is why the E-Z reaction can be used as an alternative way of dehydrating these types of compounds because they allow us to form products with fewer carbon fragments like alcohols and ketones instead of forming carboxylic acids or esters which would have more reactivity due to their conjugated bonds.”
In case you’re wondering what exactly a zaitsev product is.. A zaitsev product will only take place when one electron comes off from one of the double bonds (i.e., a hydrogen atom) to make it an isolated triple bond which is now more reactive because its electrons are less hindered by steric hindrance from other atoms or molecules and can react easier with another compound in order for this process to take place.”
The zaitsev product formed when compounds under e-z reaction undergoes an e-Z dehydration. The compensatory thing about the Zaitsev product, as stated before, is that they have a lower activation energy; thus these reactions allow us to form products like alcohols and ketones instead of carboxylic acids or esters since those would be made up of conjugated bonds. In case you’re wondering what exactly is the eZ reaction, it’s a type of elimination that is used to remove hydrogen or methyl groups.

E-z Reaction: A process in which hydrogens or methyl groups are eliminated from a compound. In case you’re wondering what exactly is the E-z reaction, it’s a type of elimination that is used to remove hydrogen or methyl groups.” ~~
