Hydrolysis of 2-bromo-3-methyl butane (2...

Hydrolysis of 2-bromo-3-methyl butane `(2^@)` yields only 2-methy-2-butanol `(3^@)`, explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

During an `SN^1` solvolysis, ionsation products an intermediate `2^@ R^+`, which rearranges by a `H^(Ө)` shift to a more stable `3^@ R^+`, that reacts with `H_2 O` to form `3^@` ROH.
