Reaction of a compound with a solvent is generally referred to as a solvolysis. Tert - Butyl bromide is solvolysed under two different conditions.

Reaction-I: Tert- Butyl bromide is refluxed with ethanol containing a small amount of sodium ethoxide. The reaction was exceedingly rapid with a half life of only a few minutes and resulted into two products A (an ether) and B(C₄H₈). The rate of this reaction is given by the expression
rate = k₁[tert-BuBr] + k₂ [tert-BuBr] [C₂H₅O^-]

Reaction-II: Tert-butyl bromide is refluxed with a mixture of solvents containing 70% ethanol and 30% water.
