Explain the structure of the carbocation intermediate

Reference no: EM13148833

Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol gives three alkenes: 2-methyl-2-butene, 3-methyl-1-butene, and 2-methyl-1-butene. Draw the structure of the carbocation intermediate leading to the formation of 3-methyl-1-butene. Use the (+) and (-) tools to adjust charges as necessary. If there is more than one carbocation intermediate, draw them all.
