Question
**Title: Alkene to Alcohol Conversion Using Markovnikov's Rule**

**Introduction:**
Alkenes can be converted into alcohols through an acid-catalyzed addition of water, following Markovnikov's rule. This rule assists in predicting the major alcohol product formed from alkenes.

**Problem Statement:**
Predict the major alcohol product from the following alkene, assuming that Markovnikov’s rule is valid.

**Alkene Structure:**
The image displays a structural diagram of an alkene with a branched chain, where a double bond is present between two of the carbon atoms in a straight chain of four carbon atoms.

**Guidelines:**
- **Stereochemistry Consideration:** Not required.
- **Multiple Answers:** If applicable, draw only one.
- **Hydride and Alkyl Shifts:** Consider these shifts in the mechanism.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image shows a skeletal structure of a branched alkene. The double bond is located at the second carbon from one end of the chain. The structure is suitable for demonstrating an acid-catalyzed hydration reaction.

**Chemical Drawing Tools:**
The interface includes a toolbar with options for drawing various chemical structures and bonds, useful for illustrating predicted products.

**Conclusion:**
Using the guidelines and the structural diagram, apply Markovnikov's rule and consider possible shifts to determine the primary alcohol product obtained from the given alkene.
