Question -
Answer -
1-propoxypropane can be synthesized from propan-1-ol bydehydration.
Propan-1-ol undergoes dehydration in thepresence of protic acids (such as H2SO4, H3PO4) togive 1-propoxypropane.
The mechanism of this reaction involves the followingthree steps:
Step 1: Protonation
Step 2: Nucleophilic attack
Step 3: Deprotonation
