Mixing cyclohexanol with phosphoric acid is an exothermic process, whereas the production of cyclohexene is endothermic. Construct an energy diagram showing the course of this reaction. Label the diagram with the starting alcohol, the oxonium ion (the protonated alcohol), the carbocation, and the product.

The reaction of a ketone with an alcohol in acidic conditions will result in: an alkane an acetal a geminal (gem) diol an alkene
Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.

Why is it important that we are very careful in how much acid is added to neutralize the reaction? (Only pick one answer) If the solution becomes very acid it can be harmful to the skin Too much acid will increase vanillyl alcohols water solubility and inhibit crystal formation Too much acid will decrease vanillyl alcohols water solubility and inhibit crystal formation Excess acid will deprotonate the vanillyl alcohol and inhibit crystal formation
We have covered several oxidants that use a multi-valent atom (Cr, Cl, S, or I) as their active species, going from a higher oxidation state before the oxidation to a lower oxidation state after oxidizing the alcohol.
