A carbocation can only move to adjacent carbons. On its left it had a primary, and on its right it had a secondary which is not greater than the secondary it's on so it stays.
There’s was a bonus question on my exam about this, and I missed one silly mistake on a 10 point acid base equation……😔 How do you get over silly mistakes on the test?

I just stumbled on your channel looking for Ochem help. I love the format of this video! Makes it more interesting/engaging to follow :)
For the first question, why wouldn't you rearrange the carbocation if you can make it a tertiary instead of secondary?

For the first question would the final product be on a chiral center leading to enantiomers?
