Question
Chapter 8, Problem 6PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The steps for the formation of2, 3-dimethyl-2-butanol from3, 3-dimethyl-1-butene in acid-catalysed hydrationare to be written.
Concept introduction:
The reaction in which to an unsaturated compound the water molecule is added is called as acid catalyzed hydration.
The order of stability of carbocation is such that the tertiary carbocation is most stable whereas the primary carbocation is least stable and secondary carbocation lies between primary and tertiary carbocation.

When 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is treated with a base, a mixture of 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1-
butene is produced. When potassium hydroxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 45% of the
product mixture. However, when potassium tert-butoxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for
70% of the product mixture. What percent of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in the mixture if potassium
propoxide were the base?
