The reaction taking place in the flask is dehydration of 2-methyl cyclohexanol which can be explained by the following chemical equation:

The formation of the product is confirmed by the bromine test which explains the addition of bromine to the double bond.
The KMnO4 test also confirms the product formation
In th IR spectrum, The C-H stretching vibrations attached to the C=C double bond at 2921cm-1 explains the formation of the product.

report 13 C NMR, DEPT, observed bp. Evidence should be given
that shows the reaction yeilded an ester product. Specific
evidenceshould be given to support the identification of the
product ester and starting alcohol.
find the starting alcohol and state product ester
Compare the IR spectrum to the IR spectrum of the starting
material. Assign all the major peaks above the fingerprint region
in your IR spectra. Assign the signals in the carbon and Dept NMR
spectra.

using the IR, the 13C, and DEPT NMR spectra of your product
determine the identity of your unknown ester from a C-4 or C-5
alcohol. the identity of the C-4 or C-5 alcohol also needs to be
determined.
The following C-4 or C-5 alcohols will be used in this
experiment:
1-butanol (n-butyl alcohol)
2-butanol (sec-butyl alcohol)
2-methyl-1-propanol (isobutyl alcohol)
3-methyl-1-butanol (isopentyl alcohol)
1-pentanol (n-pentyl alcohol)
2-pentanol
3-pentanol
cyclopentanol
