Chapter 19, Problem 19

(choose chapter or problem)

Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 3-hydroxy-3-phenylcyclohexanone leads to an unsaturated ketone. What possible structures are there for the product? At what position in the IR spectrum would you expect each to absorb? If the actual product has an absorption at \(1670 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\), what is its structure?
