Question

Mechanism of acid dehydration of ethanol to ethene

Answer 1

Answer:The mechanism of acid dehydration of ethanol to yield ethene involves the following three steps:

Step 1:

Protonation of ethanol to form ethyl oxonium ion:

Step 2:

Formation of carbocation (rate determining step):

Step 3:

Elimination of a proton to form ethene:

The acid consumed in step 1 is released in Step 3. After the formation of ethene, it is removed to shift the equilibrium in a forward direction.

• Ethanol can be dehydrated to give ethene by heating it with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid at about 170°C. Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead. The acids aren't written into the equation because they serve as catalysts.
