Compilation of “Dehydration of Methylcyclohexanol” Blog entries: A common Sophomore Organic Chemistry laboratory experiment that has great potential for further research is the acid catalyzed dehydration of simple alcohols. The classic dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol experiment that was introduced in Journal of Chemical Education in 1967 Taber(1967)JCE:44‚p620. The rather simple procedure of distilling an alcohol with an aqueous acid has spawned several investigations that have resulted

its proper functioning. Our bodies require that we consume at least one liter of water each day. When we lack the necessary about of fluid‚ dehydration-which is when a person loses more bodily fluid than he or she takes in‚ occurs. Dehydration can occur quickly‚ gradually over a period of time. In this paper‚ I will discuss the various effects of dehydration on the human body. I will discuss the importance of water to our health‚ compare and contrast the various functions of electrolytes‚ potassium

Formation of an Alkene by Alcohol Dehydration Lab Report Balanced Chemical Equation for the Main Reaction Mechanism The acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols involves non-isolable carbocation intermediaries. In the first step of the of the reaction mechanism below‚ a phosphoric acid catalyst adds a proton to the oxygen atom of the alcohol to form an oxonium ion. The OH is converted to a better leaving group as the positive charge on the oxygen weakens the carbon-oxygen

Dehydration is when your body has lost too many fluids. Water is one of the most important nutrients to our body; the human body is from 55 percent to about 78 percent of water. The average person loses water consistently by doing everyday activities and sweating‚ breathing and eliminating waste. Water removes toxins and waste products from the body and puts nutrients into the body. Dehydration affects many people for many different reasons. Water has a HUGE effect on people when it comes to dehydration

Dehydration refers to a chemical reaction where the reactant loses a water molecule. In the presence of a strong acid like 85% phosphoric acid‚ an alcohol like-2-methylcyclohexanol can be dehydrated to form an alkene. In this experiment‚ alcohol was dehydrated by E1 elimination‚ in order to synthesize cyclohexene. First‚ alcohol is protonated by the acid. Second‚ during E1 elimination‚ a carbocation is formed by the removal of an oxonium ion to yield a secondary and a tertiary carbocation. The receiving

The Cyclohexanol Cycle and Nylon Synthesis Samantha Stuckey CHE 233L Section 302 Department of Chemistry‚ DePaul University‚ 1110 W. Belden Avenue‚ Chicago‚ IL 60614 smstuckey@comcast.net May 8th‚ 2013 Abstract The first three labs of this organic chemistry experiment involved carrying out the first three parts of the Cyclohexanol Cycle. The cyclohexanol was first converted to cyclohexene and water by simple distillation (product: 6.5395g‚ 79.75% recovery). The cyclohexene then underwent a bromination
