Abstract
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.

Solving the Mathematics of a Kinetic and Regiochemical Problem: The Dehydration Reaction of a cis-trans Mixture of 2-Methylcycloalkanols
John J. CawleyJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (1), 58Solving the Mathematics of a Kinetic and Regiochemical Problem: The Dehydration Reaction of a cis-trans Mixture of 2-Methylcycloalkanols
John J. CawleyJournal of Chemical Education1999 76 (1), 58A take-home exam is presented. It is based on an experiment that studied the dehydration of a cis-trans mixture of 2-methylcyclohexanols. The "givens" are the idealized kinetic and regiochemical data. The focus is strictly on the mathematics, not the ...
