Catalyzation, Nucleophiles, and Baeyer test

A) Consider a situation where bromocyclohexane is used in an elimination reaction instead of cyclohexanol. Would acid catalyze the reaction? Justify your answer.


B) A dehydration reaction produces water as a byproduct. Water is a good nucleophile that could react with the carbocation intermediate. Why is that not a concern in this experiment?


C) If the Baeyer test showed that the product of a reaction contained an alkene, presumably cyclohexene. The product is not necessarily pure. Would the Baeyer test confirm the presence of unreacted cyclohexanol? Justify your answer.
