Write equations for the steps in `S_(N)1` mechanism of conversion of tertiary butyl bromide into tertiary butyl alcohol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) When t-butyl bromide reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide, t-butyl alcohol

Step 1: The alkyl halide undergoes slow ionisation to form a carbocation and bromide ion.

Step 2: The nucleophile OH- attacks the carbocation to form tertiarý butyl alcohol.

(b)A mixture of an alkyl halide and aryl halide gives an alkylarene when treated with sodium in dry ether.

( c)Finkelstein reaction.
