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

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?

[@rbc812]

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.

[@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
