Calculate the molar ratio of 25 ml of a 4-M solution ofpotassium hydroxide in 1-propanol to 2.5 mL of2-bromo-2-methylbutane used in an elimination reaction and themolar ratio of 25 mL of a 1-M solution of potassium tert-butoxidein tert-butyl alcohol to 2.5 mL of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane used inan elimination reaction. Specify which are the limitingreagents.

Consider the synthesis of tert-amyl chloride (2-chloro-2-methylbutane).

This is achieved with the reacts of 2-methyl-2-butanol and HCl as the reactants creating 2-chloro-2-methylbutane.

Please draw the full reaction mechanism for any possible side reaction that can occur under these reaction conditions. Include all charges and intermediates.
