N2  - In the presence of hydrogen bromide at 372-446ºC 3-methylbutan-2-ol decomposes into methylbutenes and water with rate  K2=1013.02exp(-150000/8.314T) ml mol-1s-1 The effects of substitution at the &#946;-carbon atom (C3) are summarized and compared with those at the &#945;-carbon atom (C2). A polar transition state involving mainly the &#945;-carbon atom site is proposed.
