Define 3-methyl-2-butanol with concentrated hydrobromic acid

Reference no: EM13649346

The reaction of 3-methyl-2-butanol with concentrated hydrobromic acid gives the two isomers bromoalkenes.Using curved arrows to symbolize the flow of electrons, suggest two reasonable mechanisms for this reaction that account for the formation of each of the products. Indicate whether each is an SN1 or an SN2 reaction.
