Alcohol and its reaction:
8. Combing two alcohol molecules below and completing the reaction with
Product .( Hint Reaction called etherification as ether is formed and name the
ether once you complete the reaction.
Hint.:
R-O-H+H-O-RR-O-R
Do the reaction:
CH₂OH + CH₂OH---→
+ H-O-H
9. Write the reaction of formation of alcohol from alkene by adding water:
Addition reaction also called hydration reaction as we are adding water
which occur always in presence of acid
Hint: Break the double bond and add H and OH if symmetrical then
add anywhere if unsymmetrical then follow Markovnikov rule H
should go to that double bone carbon which has more hydrogen
CH2=CH2 + H₂O-→
Complete the reaction

- Predict the major products of this organic reaction: HBr (1 equiv) cold ? Some important notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of this reaction in the drawing area below. • You can draw the products in any arrangement you like. • Pay careful attention to the reaction conditions, and only include the major products. • Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are enantiomers. • Note that there is only 1 equivalent of HBr reactant, so you need not consider the case of multiple additions. dm Re Explanation Check ©2025 McGraw Hill LLC.
