- For the dehydration shown, use curved arrows to show the formation of the carbocation intermediate in the presence of sulfuric acid H2SO4H2SO4, then draw the structures of the minor and major products of the elimination.
Picture: Cyclohexane (no double or triple bonds) with a methyl group and an alcohol group (HO 4e- on O) on C1 (bottom) reacting with H2SO4 -> "Major and Minor Products"
-The H2SO4H2SO4 is abbreviated as H+H+ in the drawing module. Do not delete any pre‑drawn bonds, charges, or lone pairs. If you accidentally make a mistake, remove the last change by using the undo button on the lower left or revert the drawing palette to the original state by selecting the More menu, then select Reset Drawing.
Step 1: Use curved arrows to complete the protonation mechanism of the alcohol.
Step 2: Use a curved arrow to show the formation of the carbocation intermediate for the elimination.
