**Dehydration of 2-Methylcyclohexanol**The reaction presented is similar to the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol. In this process, a significant amount of a tetrasubstituted alkene is expected to form as a product. **Objective:** Predict the structure of this tetrasubstituted alkene. Furthermore, provide a reasonable mechanism for its formation using curved arrows.**Reaction Details:**- **Starting Material:** 2-Methylcyclohexanol- **Reagent:** Phosphoric acid ($ \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 $)- **Condition:** Heating ($ \Delta $)- **By-product:** Water is eliminated $(- \text{H}_2\text{O})$.**Illustration:**The image shows the molecular structure of 2-methylcyclohexanol with an OH group attached to a cyclohexane ring. **Expected Outcome:**Using this information, students are tasked with predicting the structure of the expected tetrasubstituted alkene and providing a detailed mechanism involving curved arrows to explain its formation during the acid-catalyzed dehydration process.
