Chapter 4, Problem 4.39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The steps of the mechanism of the hydration of propene to produce isopropyl alcohol are 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.

1. The acid-catalyzed elimination of an alcohol is an equilibrium reaction and requires special reac- tion conditions to favour the formation of the alkene product. What chemical principle controls the amount of alkene product that is produced? Provide two laboratory techniques that can be used to obtain good alkene yields in alcohol elimination reactions.
Predict the alcohol products of the hydration, hydroboration, and dihydroxylation of alkenes.
2-chloropropane is a major product of the reaction of chlorine with propane under ultraviolet light. Write the mechanism for this reaction including the initiation step and the two propagation steps.
