A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/13/O/N/19
Question 29 from 9701/13/O/N/19

Explanation

Acid-catalyzed dehydration of propan-1-ol Steps:

  • Recognize CH3CH2CH2OH as propan-1-ol, a primary alcohol.
  • Note that warming with little concentrated H2SO4 favors ether formation over alkene dehydration.
  • Understand that standard reaction yields dipropyl ether (acyclic) via intermolecular SN2.
  • Conclude no cyclic compound forms under these conditions, as chain length prevents intramolecular cyclization.
