Define why the elimination reaction in acetone promotes

Reference no: EM13196949

1. Explain why the elimination reaction in acetone promotes an E2 mechanism while water promotes and E1 mechanism?

2. Which product is more thermodynamically stable, the E or Z isomer?

3. How can you use NMR spectroscopy to differentiate between the E and Z products and also determine their relative ratio?

4. When the solvent for the reaction is acetone, the procedure recommends that the acetone be removed prior to the extractions, why is this important?

5. In the extraction procedure, which layer do you expect to be the organic layer, and which layer do you expect to be the aqueous layer? what physical property do you need to know in order to predict this?
