On prolonged heating with concentrated hydrochloric acid, 2, 2-dimethyl-1-propanol, a primary alcohol, reacts to give 2-chloro-2methylbutane. provide a stepwise mechanism for this reaction, using curved arrows to symbolize the flow of electrons. also account for the fact that the observed product is a tertiary alkyl chloride even though the starting alcohol is primary.
