Question
Draw the structural formula of the alcohol that will make the following products through an alcohol dehydration reaction.
Step 1

Two different alkenes will be formed by dehydration of the alcohol shown in the margin. Draw their structures using both condensed and line structure format, and label each as being either the major or minor product.
Draw the products formed when each alcohol undergoes dehydration with TsOH, and label the major product when a mixture results.
