Mechanistic Study of Formation of Alkenyl Cations from 3-cyclopenten-1-ol in H2SO4
Presentation Type
Poster Presentation
Mentor/Supervising Professor Name
Menzmer, Mitch
Description
This research aims to establish the allylic cations that are formed in reaction of 3-cyclopenten-1-ol in sulfuric acid, and their mechanism of formation. The effects of different concentrations of sulfuric acid in the reaction will also be examined.
