From its molecular formula, compound X is an Alkanol.
The name of this Alkanol is Cuminyl alcohol.
An Alkanol contains hydroxyl ions.
Dehydration of alkanols involves removal of water from the alkanols to form respective alkenes.
In this case concentrated sulphuric acid is used as a dehydrating agent.
Dehydration of primary Alkanol produces alkanols-1-ene.
Dehydration of secondary Alkanol gives a mixture of alkene structural isomers.
When we dehydrate C₁₀H₁₄O we remove H₂O and remain with C₁₀H₁₂
The name of this compound is :
Benzocyclohexane.
