Concentrated phosphoric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid are common choices for dehydrating alcohols. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is not. What problem might occur if concentrated hydrochloric acid were substituted for phosphoric acid in the cyclohexene synthesis? allylic chlorination of the cyclohexene product may occur O chlorocyclohexane may form as a byproduct the equilibrium will now favor formation of cyclohexanol by Le Chatelier's Principle O hydrochloric acid is a weaker acid than phosphoric acid
