The dehydration of 2-butanol to produce a mixture of gaseous alkene products. The alkene gases are then separated and identified using gas chromatography (GC). The results of the GC illustrate the variety of pathways that are available to acid-catalyzed elimination reactions of secondary alcohols via carbocation to create different structural isomers.
