Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Structural formulas for compounds C and D should be determined in Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol which gives predominantly compound C (C7 H12 ) and treatment of compound C with water in the presence of a sulfuric acid gives Compound D (C7 H14 0).
Concept Introduction:
In dehydration reaction, the organic compound undergoes in loss of water molecule. In acid-catalyzed dehydration process, alcohols are treated with strong acid catalysts,and the reaction generates
