Resumen de The Acid Catalyzed Dehydration of an Isomeric 2-Methylcyclohexanol Mixture:

John J. Cawley, Patrick E. Linder

• This paper details an experiment which serves as an introduction to organic laboratory research. The reaction is the dehydration of a cis, trans mixture of 2-methylcyclohexanols. At intervals of times the reactant mixture is sampled for the cis and trans reactants. At those same intervals of times the receiver flasks of product cyclohexanes being collected are changed, such that sequential fractions of material are obtained.
