What is Synthesis of tert-Butyl Chloride about?

This document describes the preparation and purification of tert-butyl chloride from tert-butyl alcohol. Tert-butyl alcohol reacts with hydrochloric acid through an SN1 mechanism to form tert-butyl chloride. Specifically, the tert-butyl alcohol is mixed with excess concentrated hydrochloric acid to push the reaction forward. Sodium chloride is then added to separate the aqueous and organic layers. Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes unreacted acid and calcium chloride is added as a drying agent before distilling
