- - - - Conditions: Heat with a strong acid (e.g., sulfuric acid, H2SO4)
      - Product: Alkene
      - Example: Ethanol (CH3-CH2-OH) → Ethene (CH2=CH2) + H2O
    - - Reagents: Carboxylic acid and a catalyst (e.g., concentrated sulfuric acid, H2SO4)
      - Product: Ester
      - Example: Ethanol (CH3-CH2-OH) + Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) → Ethyl Acetate (CH3COOCH2CH3) + Water
    - - Reagent: Acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7/H2SO4)
      - Product: Aldehyde
      - Example: Ethanol (CH3-CH2-OH) → Ethanal (CH3-CHO)
- - - - Conditions: Tertiary alcohols favor this reaction.
      - Product: Formation of an alkyl halide
      - Example: Tert-butanol ((CH3)3C-OH) → Tert-butyl Chloride ((CH3)3C-Cl)
    - - Conditions: Heat with a strong acid (e.g., sulfuric acid, H2SO4)
      - Product: Alkene
      - Example: Tert-butanol ((CH3)3C-OH) → 2-Methylpropene ((CH3)2C=CH2) + H2O
- - - - Conditions: Heat with a strong acid (e.g., sulfuric acid, H2SO4)
      - Product: Alkene
      - Example: Isopropanol (CH3-CHOH-CH3) → Propene (CH2=CH-CH3) + H2O
    - - Conditions: Tertiary alcohols favor this reaction.
      - Product: Formation of an alkyl halide
      - Example: Isopropanol (CH3-CHOH-CH3) → Isopropyl Chloride (CH3-CHCl-CH3)
    - - Reagent: Acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7/H2SO4)
      - Product: Ketone
      - Example: Isopropanol (CH3-CHOH-CH3) → Acetone (CH3-CO-CH3)
