Reactivity of Alcohols towards dehydration : 3 > 2 > 1

When you dehydrate an alcohol, you remove the -OH group, and a hydrogen atom from the next carbon atom in the chain. With molecules like butan-2-ol, there are two possibilities when that happens.

That leads to these products:

The products are but-1-ene, CH₂=CHCH₂CH₃, and but-2-ene, CH₃CH=CHCH₃.
