Question

convert 2 butanol to 1 butanol​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes! Here is your answer!

Explanation:

You have to first turn 2-butene into 2-butanol. You can do this a few different ways. You can do it with acid and water, oxymercuration/demercuration (OMDM). Once you have the alcohol you'll need to oxidise the alcohol further. You can use Cr03 dissolved in H+/H20. That's called a jones oxidation. You could also use Cr03 dissolved in pyridine. That's called a collins oxidation. There are other ways. These could be considered the most common.

Answer 2

Answer:

The anti-Markovnikov rule describes regiochemistry in which the substituent is bonded to a carbon atom that has received less substitution than another carbon atom.

Explanation:

The first step is the conversion of 2-butanol to 2-butene. This can be achieved by the treatment of 2-butanol with dilute sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) which results in the formation of 2-butene.

2-butene (H₂C=CHCH₂CH₃) on treatment with HBr and peroxide undergoes anti-Markovnikov addition to give 1-bromobutane.

1-bromobutane (BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃) further undergoes a substitution reaction with alcohol. It involves the substitution of the Br group with the hydroxyl (-OH) group.

The reaction sequence is as follows below:

CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃ + H₂SO₄ → H₂C=CHCH₂CH₃

H₂C=CHCH₂CH₃ + HBr + ROOR → BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

BrCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ + OH⁻ → HOCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

                                                 (1-butanol)

Hence, the conversion occurs in three steps.
