Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the given reaction is to be written, general conditions for good yield, general conditions for reverse reaction and product obtained on acid-catalysed hydration is to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

The substitution reaction is a reaction in which one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by other functional group.

An elimination reaction is a reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed.

The addition reaction is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
