Alcohol Reactions: Dehydration Reactions Practice Problems

Identify the structure of the alcohol that would react via dehydration and produce the alkene below as the major product.

Identify the structure of the alcohol that would provide 3,4-dimethylhexa-1,5-diene as the major product.

Consider the structure of the alcohol shown below. Draw all the possible alkenes that can be formed from the dehydration of the alcohol. Identify the major and minor products. There can be more than one of each type of product.

Consider the structure of the alcohol shown below. Sketch all the possible alkenes that can be formed from the dehydration of the compound in both line and condensed structure, and identify each as cis or trans if applicable.

Consider the following alcohol that, upon acid-catalyzed dehydration, yields an alkene. If more than one product is possible, only provide the major.
