Which alcohols can be dehydrated? Water can replenish your fluids and help you stay hydrated. Stick with light-colored drinks. Dark, distilled liquors like whiskey and brandy contain high amounts of congeners, such as tannins and acetaldehyde. Congeners can dehydrate you more quickly and make a...
but itisa strong enough nucleophile to reduce iminium ions. Therefore more of the starting aldehyde/ketone will be converted into the amine. [This is particularly important when working with very precious samples of aldehyde].
Note 2. The pKaof pure water is 14. The relative acidity of water relative to alcohols can change in other solvents. For example, in 2-propanol, methanol is 3 times more acidic than water. See Ref 1. Note 3. How are pKavalues measured? Seereference six. ...
The former produces anhydro-cellulose (dehydro-cellulose), which further decomposes at higher temperatures and produces various volatile products such as alcohols, alkanes, aldehydes, fuel gases, carbon monoxide, methane, ethylene, and non-flammable gases (carbon dioxide and water vapor), and an ...
