This is a tale about Algernon the Organic Chemist. In his laboratory one night, Algernon attempted to prepare an alcohol, 3-methyl-2- butanol (shown below) by the acid-catalyzed hydration of 3-methyl-1- butene. Well, guess what? His reaction made an alcohol in high yield, but it was NOT the alcohol he was trying to make. What alcohol did he make instead? [ HINT: Mechanistically, a carbocation is formed. When a carbocation is especially unstable, what will it always try to do first? ] он H* H,ö: 3-methyl-2-butanol он OH III HQ IV OH

As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C-C bond as its major product: 1. CH3-MgBr ? 2. H3O+ H₂N If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If the major products of this reaction won't have a new C-C bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.
