Examine the reaction/mechanism provided for the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-methyl-2-butanol. Select all the following statements that are correct. OH 1 H₂SO4 + H 20-1-04 -OH 2 X- OH₂ 3 + O-S-OH Ö 4 + H₂O 6 5 GA. The dehydration reaction proceeds via an E1 mechanism. B. Compound 6 is the most stable alkene formed by the dehydration. C. The curved arrows, as shown in Compound 5, result in the formation of Compound 6. D. Compound 6 is not the most stable alkene produced by the dehydration. E. The dehydration reaction proceeds via an E2 mechanism.
