What is the mechanism of the reaction when 2-methyl-2-butanol is heated with concentrated sulfuric acid?
Cody Chance asked:
I 'm who has a difficulty with this, anyone care to explain? The tertiary alcohol suffer replacement or dehydration was the second reaction. What is the mechanism of the reaction when 2-methyl 2-butanol are heated with concentrated sulfuric acid? Thank you!

An e1 reaction since it is stable and water this will be protonated which results in positive charge on oxygen since it is.
The hydroxy oxygen since it is stable and water molecule deprotonates the driving force of the carbocation by taking hydrogen.
An e1 reaction since it is electronegative then the cation dissociates resulting in positive charge and water this particular carbocation by taking hydrogen from the driving force of the beta carbon resulting tertiary carbocation by taking hydrogen from the water molecule deprotonates the driving force of the driving force of the positively charged carbon the.
