The elimination of water from tertiary alcohols was studied for carbocycles of ringsize 5-16. The resulting olefins 3-5 were discriminated by NMR spectroscopy. The relative amount of their formation reflects the steric idiosyncrasies of the respective ring systems. The behavior of the medium-sized rings yielded experimental proof to the I-strain concept.
