Question:
The molecule in the next column is 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol, a primary alcohol. Because no H atoms are bonded to the β carbon atom in this molecule, dehydration seems unlikely. However, when 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol is heated with an acid catalyst, 2-methylbut-2-ene is obtained. Suggest a mechanism that shows how 2-methylbut-2-ene is formed.
