Question- 1) Draw the structure of the major product that would be obtained from the dehydration of 3,5-dimethylcyclohexanol.
2) Mixing cyclohexanol with phosphoric acid is an exothermic process, whereas the overall reaction from cyclohexanol to cyclohexene is endothermic. Referring to the mechanism above, construct an energy diagram showing the course of the reaction. Label the diagram with the starting alcohol, the protonated alcohol, the carbocation, and the product.
Please give an idea about how you obtained the answer
