Question

intra and inter molecular dehydration of ethanol

Answer 1

Intermolecular Dehydration. Alcohols can also undergo a reaction known as intermolecular dehydration in which the H- comes from one alcohol molecule and the -OH comes from another alcohol molecule. When that takes place, a different kind of compound, called an ether, is formed.

Answer 2

Intermolecular Dehydration

Alcohols can also undergo a reaction known as intermolecular dehydration in which the H- comes from one alcohol molecule and the -OH comes from another alcohol molecule. When that takes place, a different kind of compound, called an ether, is formed. We will deal with ethers in the next lesson, but we will look at the reaction now.
If the -OH group comes off of a carbon atom in the first molecule, that carbon atom will have to form a bond to something else. Also, if the hydrogen atom in the second molecule comes off of the oxygen atom, that oxygen atom will have to form a bond to something else. That carbon atom in the first molecule bonds to the oxygen atom in the second molecule and forms a new larger molecule.
