Question

What is the mechanism that leads to the circled, minor product? Is a hydrogen from one of the "branching methyl"s utilized?

10.32 We begin by analyzing the reagent. Water is both a weak nucleophile and a weak base. Next, we look at the substrate uk
tertiary. When a tertiary substrate is treated with a reagent that is both a weak nucleophile and a weak base, we expect Sl and El pro
In a situation like this, it is often difficult to predict whether substitution or elimination will predominate, although the trisubstituted at
(which is likely the major product) will certainly be favored over the monosubstituted alkene.
