Catalytic dehydration of 4-methyl-2-pentanol using acid
1. Abstract and Purpose:
Catalytic dehydration of 4-methyl-2-pentanol was done using 9M sulphuric acid was done in this
experiment. The experimental yield was not a success since an aqueous layer was observed during the
NMR analysis preparation which interfered with the whole process of NMR analysis. The purpose of
this experiment was to demonstrate the mechanisms for all the products which resulted from the
reactions of E1 elimination. Analysis of 4-methyl-1-penten was also done using the NMR spectra.

4. Calculations: Shown each calculation for moles of reagents, limiting reagent, theoretical yield
and percent yield. (3 points)
Calculating moles of reagents:
Moles of 4-methyl-2-pentanol
Mass= Density X volume
= 0.808 X 1ml
= 0.808g
Moles = mass/ MW
= 0.808/102.74
= 0.00786451 moles
Moles of 9M sulfuric acid
Mass= Density X volume
= 1.83 X 0.6ml
= 1.098g
Moles = mass/ MW

The limiting reagent is 4-methyl-2-pentanol
Calculating theoretical yield:
Mass= Density X volume
= 0.808 X 1ml
= 0.808g
The theoretical yield is 0.808g
The actual yield is: 0.3896176g

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose
combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the
respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components
tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Hand protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching
glove’s outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in
accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Eye protection
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin and body protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the
concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of
workday.
