H2SO4 can be used with heat to eliminate the -OH group from the alcohols and finalizing the final product in alkene or may be alyne after rearrangeent with carbocation formed and adapting itself into the unsaturated form.
However MgCl2 could be used as Grignard reagent to elimiate the alchol group in this manner.
