Write equations for the mechanistic steps in the dehydration of cyclohexanol assuming an E1 mechanism. What is the role of phosphoric acid? Why is heat required?
H3PO4 is used as acid catalyst which protonate the apcalco group and make it good leaving group.
Heating is required to remove the water through evaporation and bring the reaction forward.

Please give feedback!

A) Draw /Write down the mechanism of dehydration of cyclohexanol to cyclohexane using sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.identify the leaving groups and the steps of OH depronated. B) Note the presence of water C/ Can we note the presence of water in a IR spectrum?
1) Draw a complete scheme and mechanism for the dehydration of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene. Propose a scheme and conditions for the preparation of cyclohexanol from cyclohexene. How would you track the progress of your reactions and confirm product identification? 2) Create a chart comparing E1, E2, SN1 and SN2 reactions. Be detailed and cover: structure of RX, reactivity of nucleophile, concentration of nucleophile, solvent and stereochemistry. 3) Mixing cyclohexanol with phosphoric acid is an exothermic process, whereas the production of...

1. What is the function of the acid catalyst in promoting the dehydration of cyclohexanol?
the
reaction is making cyclohexene fron cyclohexanol
Write a complete mechanism (hand written) for this reaction. Make sure to include all species involved and all charges. H' by itself does not exist in solution. Since the reaction is done in concentrated phosphoric acid (85% H3PO4), this is the source of H. (3 marks)
Please write in words what is happening in the mechanism of cyclohexanol with nitric acid to produce adipic acid. (include, reactants, intermediates, electrophiles, nucleophiles, precursors, products, functional groups, ect)
Draw the mechanism of the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol in the presence of phosphoric acid. Which product is favored and why?
