- Can you draw the mechanism for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol through an acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction. Where Phosphoric acid donates a proton ((H^+)) to the hydroxyl group of cyclohexanol, forming a protonated cyclohexanol intermediate. • The protonated cyclohexanol undergoes dehydration, leading to the removal of a water molecule and the formation of cyclohexene. • The released proton combines with water to form hydronium ion (H3O+), regenerating the catalyst. The mechanism should illustrate the acid-catalyzed dehydration process, where phosphoric acid facilitates the removal of water from cyclohexanol, resulting in the formation of cyclohexene.arrow_forwardIdentify the best reagents to complete the following reaction.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the aromatic product from the following reaction. но H2N° 1 equivalentarrow_forward
