Acid hydrolysis of tert-butyl acetate in 18O-labeled water was found to give tert-butyl

Chapter 19, Problem 19.35

(choose chapter or problem)

Acid hydrolysis of tert-butyl acetate in 18O-labeled water was found to give tert-butyl alcohol having an 18O content nearly identical to that of the solvent. Suggest a mechanism consistent with this observation. (It was shown that incorporation of 18O into tert-butyl alcohol after it was formed did not occur.)
