Question
Chapter 10, Problem 68P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason should be explained when (S)-2-butanol is heated with sulfuric acid gives racemic mixture.
Concept introduction:
Racemization:
Alcohol is treated with strong acid like sulfuric acid which forms stable carbocation and it can undergoes addition reaction which forms the racemic mixture.
The stability of carbocation is given below,
Tertiary carbocation is more stable than the secondary and primary.

Some important notes:
• Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below.
• If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead.
• Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are
enantiomers.
