### Chemistry: Electrophilic Addition to Alkenes

In organic chemistry, electrophilic addition is a type of chemical reaction where an electrophile reacts with an alkene to form a more complex molecule. Below are three examples demonstrating different electrophilic addition reactions.

#### Reaction 1: Addition of Hydrogen Iodide (HI)

**Reactant:**
\[ \text{2-methylpropene} \]

**Reagent:**
\[ \text{HI (Hydrogen Iodide)} \]

**Reaction Setup:**
- The reactant structure is 2-methylpropene.
- The reagent used is Hydrogen Iodide (HI).

**Explanation:**
- Hydrogen iodide (HI) adds across the double bond of 2-methylpropene.
- This type of reaction typically involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate, leading to the addition of hydrogen and iodine atoms to the carbon atoms of the double bond.

#### Reaction 2: Hydration

**Reactant:**
\[ \text{2-methylpropene} \]

**Reagent:**
\[ \text{H}_2\text{O (Water)}, \text{H}^+ \text{(proton)} \]

**Reaction Setup:**
- The reactant structure is 2-methylpropene.
- The reaction is facilitated by water in the presence of an acid catalyst (H⁺).

**Explanation:**
- This is an acid-catalyzed hydration reaction.
- Water adds across the double bond of 2-methylpropene, resulting in the formation of an alcohol.
- The mechanism likely proceeds through the formation of a carbocation intermediate followed by nucleophilic attack by water.

#### Reaction 3: Oxymercuration-Demercuration

**Reactant:**
\[ \text{2-methylpropene} \]

**Reagents:**
1. **Hg(OAc)_2, EtOH (Ethanol)**
2. **NaBH_4 (Sodium Borohydride)**

**Reaction Setup:**
- The reactant structure is 2-methylpropene.
- First, mercuration is performed using mercuric acetate (Hg(OAc)_2) in ethanol.
- Then, the mercury is removed (demercuration) using sodium borohydride (NaBH₄).

**Explanation:**
- This is a two-step process of oxymercuration-demercuration

Follow-up Question

shouldn't a hydride shift take place for the HI and the tH20, H+ reactions in order to get the major product. Also please draw the enantiomers and diastereomers products (if there are any) and if there aren't explain why for all the reactions
