jcais Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 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.
