    nalysis Conclusions:

    n the synthesis of Cyclohexene is the only rea)ent. n the synthesis reaction the role of "!P3& alon)

    with heat is merely to ser+e as a source of protons for the protonation of the hy,roxyl )roup of

    Cyclohexanol an, to cataly(e the reaction not to ser+e as a true rea)ent. s such Cyclohexanol is the

    limitin) rea)ent the theoretical yiel, of Cyclohexene in moles was e7ual to the num-er of moles of
