Dehydration of Alcohols (Elimination, Forms Alkenes)

Primary alcohols can be dehydrated via the E2 mechanism
Secondary and tertiary alcohols can be dehydrated via the E1 mechanism

You’ve helped me through gen chem, chem of solutions and now orgo!

[@boringedits740]

You are so underrated! You deserve a million subs thank you!! ❤

[@TS-nm3yx]

Such a lovely explanation, and awesome use of colours. Thank you! Now the concept makes sense.

You mentioned at 5:32 that the sulfuric acid is a catalyst, is this because of the fact that it goes back to its original form?

[@chemistNATE]

Yes

[@isaiah413]

SO helpful. Thank you!

[@anderiabarzanji7354]

omg you are so good

[@dararafie]

Ok i have a question and i hope i get the answer before my exam , at the end of E2, we will still get our H2so4 right?

Thank you!

Can this mechanism occur for the primary alcohol? Step 1: Protonation; Step 2: H2O leaves resulting alpha carboncation formed; Step 3: hydride shift occurs resulting beta carbocation formed; Step 4: Deprotonation.

[@hindalaoui2140]

No because carbocation formation only happens with SN1 and E1 mechanisms.

thank you so muchhhh😊

[@impasta5227]

how about the temperature :D. I'm pretty sure there are two ways of dehydration for alcohols.

[@eman4159]

What if the alcohol was connected to a cycle .. cycle expansion please explain this.. sorry for my bad english
