Acid Catalyzed Hydration Reaction: The reaction involves breaking of pi bonds between carbon-carbon multiple bonds and addition of alcohol to more substituted position of carbon in the molecule.
First step is the acid donates proton to the alkene which leads to the formation of more stable carbo cation.
Then, the water is added to the given alkene through acid catalyzed reaction where the water gets added to the carbo cation finally, the removal of one proton from oxonium ion (oxygen with one positive charge) using water results in the formation of product.
(b)
Interpretation:
The major product obtained from the acid catalyzed hydration of given set of alkenes has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.

- Rank the reactivity of the following alkenes toward acid-catalyzed hydration from most reactive to least reactive. (The alkenes are not in the corect order).arrow_forwardAlkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions -X티 Hö: H-O -CH3 -CH3 H30*arrow_forwardWhen we have discussed the enol-keto tautomerization of ketones in class, the isomerization has been facililated by an acid or base catalyst, with most ketones heavily favoring the carbonyl isomer at equilibrium. However, samples of the ketone below in its pure form (with no acid, base or water present) contain nearly 10% of the enol form! OH -90% -10% From this data, we can infer that the enol isomer of this ketone is particularly stable. Explain the stability of this enol, using terms and ideas that we have discussed in this unit.arrow_forward
- Two products are possible when pent-2-ene is treated with HBr. Write the structures of the possible products, and explain why they are made in about equal amounts.arrow_forwardCH3 Ph3P-CHCH3 H3C H3C Aldehydes and ketones are converted into alkenes by means of a direct nucleophilic addition called the Wittig reaction. In the reaction, a triphenylphosphorine ylide, also called a phosphorane, adds to an aldehyde/ketone to give a four-membered cyclic intermediate called an oxaphosphetane. The oxaphosphetane is not isolated but instead spontaneously decomposes to release triphenylphosphine oxide and an alkene. Ph3P-CHCH3 H3C The ylide is formed by reaction of triphenylphosphine, a good nucleophile, with a primary alkyl halide in an S 2 reaction, followed by deprotonation of the carbon with a strong base, such as butyllithium. The carbonyl carbon and the carbon originally bonded to the halogen become the two carbons with the double bond in the product alkene :0: CH3 Com The real value of the Wittig reaction lies in its ability to yield an alkene of predictable structure, as the C-C bond is precisely where the C=O bond was in the reactant and no isomers (other than…arrow_forwardwhat is the structure of the substitution product in the following reaction and consider stereochemistry in deciding your product?arrow_forward
