Question

We performed a lab for the dehydration of 2-methycyclohexanol where the overall reaction yields to 3 methyl cyclohexene and 1 methyl cyclohexene. After performing fractional distillation and extraction, a product mixture was obtained and ran through gas chromatography. We were then given these results.
The question is the following:
GC of 3-methyl-1-cyclohexene and 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene STANDARD 2.573 163780 10779 0.000 3.208 422857 22856 0.000 Total 596660 34381 4.0 ! 2.5 2 0 0.S 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 29 3.0 3.1 32 33 3.4 3S 36 3.7min

Explanation / Answer

Answer:-

In the chromatogram the lower peak represents 1-methylcyclohexene whereas the higer peak represents 3-methylcyclohexene. 3-Methylcyclohexene eluted first from the column and 1-methylcyclohexene comes off second.
