I'd look it up in my book, but I finished the class and sold the book. Trying to study some O-chem for the MCAT, so uhh....
During dehydration of 1° and 2° alcohols, does the 1,2 methyl shift always occur if possible?
Also, is it even called a 1,2 methyl shift?
Is there a 1,3 methyl shift? Or is that a 1,3 hydride shift? If hydride, when does that occur?
Thanks in advance to whoever studies this science from hell.
