In this chapter, we studied the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene. The reverse of this reaction is the acid-catalyzed dehydration of an alcohol. OH H,SO, CH,-CH-CH, CH-CH=CH, + H,O 2-Propanol (Isopropyl alcohol) Propene Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-propanol to propene.
