Draw a complete stepwise mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydration of the

Transcribed Image Text:### Hydration of Methylcyclopentene
This diagram illustrates the acid-catalyzed hydration reaction of methylcyclopentene in the presence of hydronium ion (\( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \)) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent.
#### Reactants:
- **Methylcyclopentene**: This is the starting alkene with a double bond and a methyl group attached to a five-membered ring.
#### Reaction Conditions:
- **Hydronium Ion (\( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \))**: Acts as an acidic catalyst to facilitate the reaction.
- **THF (Tetrahydrofuran)**: Serves as the solvent to dissolve reactants and products, providing a medium for the reaction.
#### Product:
- **Alcohol**: The alkene is converted into an alcohol, with the OH group added to the former alkene carbon.
This transformation involves the addition of water across the double bond. The result is a more substituted alcohol due to the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed during the reaction.
