Product Distribution

You have observed that the product distribution of the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol is time-dependent (depends on when you collect the product) (Evelyn Effect). What is the underlying cause of this effect for 2-methylcyclohexanol? Does 4-methylcyclohexanol show a similar time dependence on the product ratio? Why?

Answer #1

Compound 1 is 2-methylcyclohexanol.

Compound 2 is 4-methylcyclohexanol

Note : TCP means thermodynamically controlled product , means thermodynamically stable product.

KCP means kinetically controlled product , means product that is formed quickly.

Compound 2 is symmetrical hence one product is possible.
