Concentrated phosphoric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid are common choices for dehydrating alcohols. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is not. What problem might occur if concentrated hydrochloric acid were substituted for phosphoric acid in the cyclohexene synthesis? allylic chlorination of the cyclohexene product may occur O chlorocyclohexane may form as a byproduct the equilibrium will now favor formation of cyclohexanol by Le Chatelier's Principle O hydrochloric acid is a weaker acid than phosphoric acid

Discuss and explain in detail what phenols are, its properties, the different tests used to identify them and compare phenols to alcohols, its properties and lucas test conducted to compare the reactivity of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.
A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:

Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.
