Question

1) Draw the structure of only the Zaitsev product that would be obtained from the dehydration of 1-methylcyclohexanol. 2) Write out a detailed mechanism of the acid catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol. Use only hydronium as your acid source. 3) With respect to GC, what effect

Answer 1

Question:

Question 3 is not complete. here is the complete question;

3. With respect to GC, what effect would raising the column temperature have on the retention time?

Answer:

See the attached file for the structures

Explanation:

Find attached of question 1 and 2.

3. Raising the column temperature enhances the internal energy of the analyse. Therefore, it will escape from the liquid phase faster and predominantly be present in the vapour phase. On increasing temperature, retention time will be DECREASED, because analyte would not be able to interact with stationary phase efficiently.
