Reason Alcohols leading to conjugated alkenes are dehydrated to a greater extent.Chemistry Question Image

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Phenol is least reactive towards dehydration due to resonance stabilisation. 2-cyclohexenol undergoes dehydration more readily as it gives conjugated alkene. (Alcohols leading to conjugated alkenes are dehydrated more readily).
