Chapter 4, Problem 4.37P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structures of two alkenes with which the 2-methyl-2-butanol comes in equilibrium in the hydration reaction of alkenes is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydration of alkene is done in the presence of the acid as a catalyst leading to the formation of alcohol. This reaction is an equilibrium or reversible reaction but the equilibrium is lost if the alcohol is obtained after the rearrangement of the carbocation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

An explanation as to why the 3-methyl-1-butene does not come in equilibrium with the 2-methyl-2-butanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydration of alkene is done in the presence of the acid as a catalyst leading to the formation of alcohol. This reaction is an equilibrium or reversible reaction but the equilibrium is lost if the alcohol is obtained after the rearrangement of the carbocation.
