Time as a Determinate of Final Product in a Dehydration Reaction

Time as a Determinate of Final Product in a Dehydration Reaction Robert Simack, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, Alaska. Abstract: This study involved acid dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol. The results varied depending on the time elapsed after initial reaction. I attempted to prove the Evelyn Effect, which stated that over a period of time the products of the aforementioned reaction will beobserved to change volume so that those products formed by …showed first 75 words of 920 total…

Also, an NMR was not performed on the remaining liquid but instead a GC. Figure 1: Reactions of cis and trans isomers of 2-methylcyclohexanol during acid-catalyzed dehydration.
