Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the Hammond’s postulate, the structure of the transition state for the hydration of $\text{1-}$ methylcyclohexene is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Hammond’s postulate states that the structure of transition state for the reaction having intermediate with relatively higher free energy than the reactant and products can be approximated using the structure of intermediate.
