Alcohol Reactions: Dehydration Reactions Practice Problems

12 problems

Identify the structure of the alcohol that would react via dehydration and produce the alkene below as the major product.

2PRACTICE PROBLEM

Identify the structure of the alcohol that would provide 3,4-dimethylhexa-1,5-diene as the major product.

3PRACTICE PROBLEM

Consider the structure of the alcohol shown below. Draw all the possible alkenes that can be formed from the dehydration of the alcohol. Identify the major and minor products. There can be more than one of each type of product.

4PRACTICE PROBLEM

Consider the structure of the alcohol shown below. Sketch all the possible alkenes that can be formed from the dehydration of the compound in both line and condensed structure, and identify each as cis or trans if applicable.

5PRACTICE PROBLEM

Consider the following alcohol that, upon acid-catalyzed dehydration, yields an alkene. If more than one product is possible, only provide the major.

2-methylcyclohexanol

6PRACTICE PROBLEM

The following alcohol yields which alkene upon dehydration?

7PRACTICE PROBLEM

Draw the major product for the dehydration of the following alcohol:

8PRACTICE PROBLEM

Sketch the condensed structural formula of the product of the reaction shown below.

9PRACTICE PROBLEM

Sketch the line-angle structure for the alkene produced by the reaction below:

10PRACTICE PROBLEM

Sketch the condensed structural formula of the product of the reaction below:

11PRACTICE PROBLEM

What is the line-angle formula for the alkene product of the reaction shown below?

12PRACTICE PROBLEM

Dehydration is the reverse reaction of hydration. An alcohol can be dehydrated by removing —OH from one carbon and —H from the adjacent carbon, resulting in an alkene product. In a laboratory, the following alcohol is heated in acid to produce an alkene. Complete the reaction below by drawing one possible product.
