1. Write equations for the combustion, dehydration and oxidation of these alcohols and give the group names of the products. a. C3H7OH b. CH3CHOHCH3 c. (CH3)2COHCH3
All combustion reactions are similar. They all involve the reaction of the compound with molecular oxygen (O2) and the creation of two products, carbon dioxide and water. I'll do the first one for you, and you can do the other two on your own.
C3H7OH + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O
Again, all dehydration reactions are the same. They involve the loss of water. Just remove two hydrogens and one oxygen from the compound, and you've got the product. Of course, a double bond forms in the process, but you don't have to worry about that at this point. Again, I'll do this first one for ...
