Question

Fill in the missing reactant, reagent and products. Indicate stereochemistry if necessary. Unless otherwise specified, assume the reagents are in excess. 

The image depicts a two-step organic reaction sequence:

1. **First Reaction:**
   - **Reactant:** The starting compound is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, also known as tert-butyl chloride, which is depicted as a central carbon atom bonded to three methyl groups (CH₃) and one chlorine atom (Cl).
   - An arrow points to the right, indicating the progression of the reaction to the next step.

2. **Intermediate:**
   - The intermediate compound is isobutene, represented by a carbon-carbon double bond between two of the carbon atoms, with two additional methyl groups attached to the first carbon atom.

3. **Second Reaction:**
   - An arrow points from isobutene to the final product.
   
4. **Final Product:**
   - The resultant compound is 2-methyl-2-propanol, also known as tert-butyl alcohol. It features a central carbon atom bonded to three methyl groups and one hydroxyl group (OH).

This sequence shows the conversion of tert-butyl chloride to tert-butyl alcohol through the intermediate isobutene, illustrating a dehydrohalogenation followed by a hydration reaction.
