When heated with strong acids catalysts (most commonly H2SO4, H3PO4), alcohols typically undergo a 1,2-elimination reactions to generate an alkene and water. Also known as dehydration since it involves the removal of a molecule of water.Alkenes are obtained by the dehydration of alcohols. The dehydration of alcohols can be affected by two common methods. By passing the vapors of an alcohol over heated alumina. By heating an alcohol with concentrated mineral acid, such as concentrated H2SO4 or concentrated H3PO4
