Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow mechanism for acid-catalysed dehydration reaction of 3, 3- dimethyl -2- butanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dehydration of an alcohol leads to the formation of alkene. This dehydration can be done by acid-catalyzed mechanism. In this mechanism first step is the abstraction of proton by the hydroxide group. Second step is the removal of water to give an intermediate “carbocation”. Third step is the generation of alkene by the removal of β- hydrogen from the intermediate.
