Question

Each of the isomers can be formed, but 4-methylcyclohexene is the major product formed. Why?

Answer 1

1-Methylcyclohexene is required to be framed in more noteworthy sum since it's the principle item by and large of all the three items, yields around 70-80% of the aggregate item. The alkenes with lower breaking points distil later, and they distil as quick as they are framed, in this way, 1-methylcrclohexene shapes speedier than 3-Methyl cyclohexene.

Gas chromatography was utilized to figure out which isomer was overwhelming in the investigation. In the chromatogram 2 crests and an air pinnacle were seen. The greatest pinnacle could be anticipated as 1-methylcyclohexene which is hypothetically the real item. The littler pinnacle compares to 3-methylcyclohexene. Gas chromatography is like TLC, with the exception of as opposed to utilizing strong as the stationary and the fluid as the versatile stage, fluid is the stationary stage and the gas is the portable stage. The more polar and the more the compound remains in the fluid stage, the silicon (stationary stage) hangs on longer consequently bringing about elution later in the chromatogram. This can likewise be considered as, the more noteworthy the breaking point, the later it would elute since a more noteworthy breaking point suggests the compound's propensity to remain in the fluid phas
