What is Cyclohexene Synthesis via E1 Reaction about?

This document describes an experiment to produce cyclohexene from cyclohexanol via an E1 elimination reaction. Phosphoric acid is used as the strong acid to convert the alcohol to a good leaving group. The reaction mixture is heated to favor elimination over substitution and drive off the more volatile alkene product. Characterization of the product involves distillation, chemical tests, and IR spectroscopy. Potential side reactions are discussed, along with the experimental methodology and major reporting
