A dehydration reaction is carried out in the chemical reaction if an organic compound loses a water molecule to form an alkene.This is carried out by heating alcohol at high temperatures in the existence of strong acid.

Whenheptan-1-ol is treated with sulfuric acid to form hexan-2-ene.

Formation of hexan-2-ene

Heptan-2-ol is colourless alcohol with a mild odour. It consists of seven carbon atoms, and the second carbon hydroxyl group is attached that’s why it is said to be secondary alcohol.

When heptan-2-ol is treated with sulfuric acid from hexan-2-ene.

Formation of hexan-2-ene

Pentan-2-ol consist of five carbon atom, and the hydroxyl group is attached to the second carbon atom.It is a polar solvent used as an intermediate to form a product.It is also secondary alcohol.

When pentan-2-olis treated with sulfuric acid forms pentan-2-ene.

Formation of pent-2-ene

1-methylcyclohexanol is a cyclic compound used as a solvent, in making soap.It is tertiary alcohol that consists of an alcohol and methyl group attached to the first carbon atom.

When 1-methylcyclohexanolis treated with sulfuric acid to form 1-methyl cyclopentan-1-ene.

Formation of 1-methyl cyclopentan-1-ene

Cyclohexylmethanol is a cyclic organic compound that consists of an alcohol group, specifically hydroxyl methyl group.It is a colourless liquid.

When Cyclohexylmethanol is treated with sulfuric acid to form 1-methyl cyclopentan-1-ene.

Formation of 1-methyl cyclopentan-1-ene

2-methylcyclohexanol is a cyclic compound that contains methyl and alcohol groups. It is secondary alcohol and colourless.

When 2-methylcyclohexanol is treated with sulfuric acid to form 1-methyl cyclopentan-1-ene.
