Dehydration of 2-Methylcyclohexanol (continued on the next page): (1) (4 pts) One of the possible minor products in this week's experiment was 4-methylcyclohexene, pictured below. Draw a mechanism for the formation of 4-methylcyclohexene by the the dehydration of 2- methylcyclohexanol. (2) OH cat. H₂PO (1 pt) Modern instruments typically perform an integration of the peak areas for you. Older instruments were not capable of this and chemists would cut out the individual peaks and weigh them to correlate to the peak areas. If you ran the mixture of alkenes from this week's experiment and obtained the following weights for each of the correlating peaks, calculate the % area for each peak. Show your work. Peak A = 0.265 mg Peak B = 1.803 mg Peak C = 0.908 mg
