Side products for the dehydration of 2-methyl-2-butanol??


Recommended Posts

So I'm really confused about what the side products would be if you dehydrate 2-methyl-2-butanol by using sulfuric acid as a catalyst.

 

I know that there will be 2 products: 2-methyl-2-butene (major) and 2-methyl-1-butene (minor). But what about side products? I don't know how to determine which side reactions are possible. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
