Question

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.

Chemical structure of an alcohol with -OH group, indicating dehydration reaction conditions.

Accepted Answer

Alternative alkene product structure resulting from the dehydration of the alcohol.

Answer

Possible alkene product structure from dehydration of the alcohol shown in the first image.

Answer

Another possible alkene product structure from the dehydration reaction of the alcohol.

Answer

Different alkene product structure formed from the dehydration of the alcohol shown earlier.
