Explain if a SN1 reaction would occur if the following(below) was changed. If an SN1 does occur, then state the IUPAC name of the product formed and compare the rate of reaction to the rate of the original reaction . In the event that SN1 does not occur, state the type of reaction that may occur and draw all the major products that could be formed.
a) we replaced 2-methyl-2-butanol with 2-butanol
b) we replaced 2-methyl-2-butanol with 2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol
