Answer:
This addition reaction yields 3-BromoPentane and 2-BromoPentane.
Explanation: The reaction is an addition reaction that follows the Markonikoff's principle engaging the electrophillic addition mechnism with electrophile having no lone pair so rearrangement of carbonation is possible. It yields two possible products.
Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
