6) Typical SNl reactions involving tertiary alcohols that generate tertiary alkyl chlorides are reversible under the reaction conditions. Provide an electron-pushing mechanism for the reverse reaction (i.e., formation of protonated 2-methyl-2-butanol from 2-chloro-2- methylbutane). Briefly explain what drives the forward reaction to generate the desired product (2-chloro-2-methylbutane) in a reasonable yield. (5 pts) Forward Reaction: OH conc. HCI Reverse Reaction: H-O H conc, HCI OH
