Instead of the three-step mechanism of Figure 6.9, the following two-step mechanism might be considered: 1. (CH3)2C

Question:

Instead of the three-step mechanism of Figure 6.9, the following two-step mechanism might be considered:
1. (CH3)2C = CH2 + H3O+ → (CH3)3 C+ + H2O
2. (CH3)3C+ + HO- → (CH3)3COH
This mechanism cannot be correct! What is its fundamental flaw?
