OH H3PO4, heat (b) Describe the rule that is applied in the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-methylcyclohex-3- enol. Explain your answer based on the products formed.arrow_forward(a) Tsomane and Nyiko were given a task of synthesising methylenecyclohexane 2. After a brief discussion with each other, Tsomane proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanone 1 while Nyiko proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. Each student believed that their proposed method is better than the other.
