Answer:
The mechanism for the reaction between 3-methylbutan-2-ol and HBr is shown above.
In the first step, −OH group is protonated. In the second step, a molecule of water is lost to form secondary carbocation.
Third step is the rearrangement of less stable secondary carbocation to more stable tertiary carbocation through 1,2-hydride shift.
Final step is the nucelophilic attack of bromide ion on tertiary carbocation to form 2-bromo-2-methylbutane.
