Write equations for the steps in `SN^1` mechanism of the conversion of tert.butyl bromide into tert.butyl alcohol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When t-buty 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 nucleophite `OH^-` attacks the carbocation to form tertiary buty alcohol.
