Hello
I have a question for you all regarding incorporating an isotope into an alcohol. I just have to show the mechanism. I checked 2 textbooks and google but no help.
T-butyl alcohol is treated with H218O and sulfuric acid. The end product looks just like the beginning, but now the t-butyl alcohol has a 18 in front of the O for the isotope. How do you think this was done? How should I draw it?
__|__OH H218O
| H2SO4
--> __|__18OH
|
Thank you for your time and help.
