2- Pentanol 2-Pentene

In addition to being regioselective alcohol dehydrations are stereoselective A stereo selective reaction is one m which a single starting material can yield two or more stereoisomeric products but gives one of them m greater amounts than any other Alcohol dehydrations tend to produce the more stable stereoisomer of an alkene Dehydration of 3 pentanol for example yields a mixture of trans 2 pentene and cis 2 pentene m which the more stable trans stereoisomer predominates... 

C to give the expected 2-methyl-1-butene in high selectivites (24). The AI2O2 catalyzed process can be optimized to give di- -pentyl ether as the exclusive product (23). Dehydration of 1-pentanol over an alkah metal promoted AI2O2 catalyst at 300—350°C provides 1-pentene at selectivities of 92% (29,30). Purification produces polymerization grade (99.9% purity) 1-pentene. A flow chart has been shown for a pilot-plant process (29).

Hydroboration of 2-methyl-2-pentene at 25 °C followed by oxidation with alkaline H202 yields 2-methyl-3-pentanol/ but hydroboration at 160 °C followed by oxidation yields 4-methyl-l-pentanol. Suggest a mechanism. 

Figure 2 Time-dependent composition data is shown for the hydrogenation of aqueous l,4-pentadien-3-ol for both (a) ultrasound irradiated and (b) magnetically stirred systems. The symbols correspond to experimental measurements (l,4-pentadien-3-ol 14PD30L-solid circles l-penten-3-ol lP30L-open hourglass 3-pentanone 3PONE-open triangles 3-pentanol 3POL-crossed squares). The lines in the ultrasound experiment simply connect the data points, whereas for the stirred experiment the lines correspond to a modeled fit (see text).

We have studied the effect of cavitating ultrasound on the heterogeneous aqueous phase hydrogenation of a 5-2-buten-l-ol (C4 olefin) and a5-2-penten-l-ol (C5 olefin) on Pd-black (1.5+0.1 mg catalyst) to form the lra/ 5-olefins trans-2-buten-l-ol and fra/3s-2-penten-l-ol) and saturated alcohols (1-butanol and 1-pentanol, respectively). These chemistries are illustrated in Scheme 2. A full analysis of this study has been recently presented [10]. 

Table III shows that l-octen-3-ol and 2-heptenal were only detected in soya containing bread and that the latter has significant larger peak areas of 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, l-penten-3-ol, hexanal and 2- heptanone compared to the control (p < 0.05). These differences could be caused either by addition of volatile compounds present in soya flour or by its lipoxygenase activity. The main volatile compound found in soya flour was limonene (75), of which the peak areas were similar in the soya flour containing bread and its control sample. Moreover minor volatile compounds of soya flour, like 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol and hexanal, increased steadily in soya samples, as can be seen in Table...

Raw potato possesses little aroma. Approximately 50 compounds have been reported to contribute to raw potato aroma. Raw potatoes have a high content of LOX, which catalyses the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids into volatile degradation products (Scheme 7.2) [187]. These reactions occur as the cells are disrupted, e.g. during peeling or cutting. Freshly cut, raw potatoes contain ( ,Z)-2,4-decadienal, ( ,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, ( )-2-octenal and hexanal, which are all products of LOX-initiated reactions of unsaturated fatty acids [188,189]. It is reported that two compounds represent typical potato aroma in raw potato methional and ( ,Z)-2,6-nonadienal [189]. Other important volatiles in raw potatoes produced via the LOX pathway are l-penten-3-one, heptanal, 2-pen-tyl furan, 1-pentanol and ( , )-2,4-heptadienal [189]. Pyrazines such as 3-iso-propyl-2-methoxypyrazine could be responsible for the earthy aroma of potato [35]. Some of the most important character-impact compounds of raw potatoes are summarised in Table 7.8. Aroma compounds from cooked, fried and baked potatoes have previously been reviewed [35].

Suppose you were given unlabeled bottles, each of which is known to contain one of the following compounds 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, 3-penten-1-ol, 4-pentyn-1-ol, 1-butoxybutane, and 1-pentyl acetate. Explain how you could use simple chemical tests (test-tube reactions only) to identify the contents of each bottle.

Pentanol can undergo dehydration in two different directions, giving either 1-pentene or 2-pentene. 2-Pentene is formed as a mixture of the cis and trans stereoisomers.
