8. Show the steps for how to convert (R)-2-pentanol to (S)-2-pentanethiol via a tosylate. (Hint: Watch video for solution Problem 10.7 in the textbook, in Ch 10.5D) (R)-2-Pentanol (S)-2-Pentanethiol 9. Draw structural formulas for the alkenes formed on acid-catalyzed dehydration of each alcohol. Where isomeric alkenes are possible, predict which alkene is the major product: (a) 2-Methyl-2-butanol (racemic) (b) 2-Methylcyclopentanol (racemic) 10. Draw electron-pushing mechanisms to show how each of the 3 products are possible in the following acidcatalyzed dehydration of 1-butanol: 140170CHSO4)=
