Dehydration of Cyclohexanol Lab Questions
I had a lab on the dehydration of cyclohexanol and I am not trying to understand certain concepts. Here are some questions I am trying to figure out:
- The product ratio is Saytzeff > Hofmann for both E1 and E2 reactions. What causes this to be the case for each reaction? I understand slightly that for E2 its steric hindrance and for E1 its competition or something.
- What exactly is the reduction of alkynes? I just understand that it is a method for synthesizing alkenes.
-Why are the leaving groups for E2 reactions not as good as E1 reactions?
-Why don't E2 reactions rearrange?
- the solvents for both reactions are unimportant...correct?
-How does E2 support the zaitsev's rule? (in other words, what do the products illustrate?)
- When I performed the dehydration, I thought we successfully synthesized an alkene because the bromine test was positive. However, when we did an IR, and that showed an O-H bond which is not good because that should only appear on an IR test for a cyclohexanol not a cyclohexane. Why did this occur?

Why would an analyst use horizontal or vertical analysis
: in performing financial ratio analysis, what the do the results mean? do the answers provide conclusions on their own, or do we have to pt them in perspective by comparing them to prior periods, other companies or competitiors or industry standard..
