When the compound below is treated with catalytic sulfuric acid, an equilibrium mixture of many possible compounds results. Which of the following exists in the lowest concentration (essentially zero) among those products? (Hint: The first step can be either protonation of the alcohol or protonation of the alkene; Follow the possibilities from both paths). Note: Even if you immediately find the answer, it is worth your time to figure out how the other products ARE made by writing the mechanisms that lead to them. This is always good practice. ost (A) OH (B) [H₂SO4] ??? OH (D)

Please help me with the organic chemistry question below. Please share details on each step to aid in understanding. Thank you.
Organic chemistry student Everett has set up two separate electrophilic addition reactions with 2-butyne (shown below). In reaction (i) the alkyne is treated with 1 equivalent of HBr, which successful provides (Z)-2-bromo-2-butene. In reaction (ii) the alkyne is subjected to a two-step hydroboroation/oxidation sequence. Interestingly, Everett’s second reaction fails to provide the desired methyl ketone and instead has provided butan-2,3-diol. (a) Provide the structure of intermediate X form the first step of reaction (ii). (b) Briefly explain (use structures if necessary) why reaction (i) provided an alkene where as reaction (ii) provided an alkane when only 1 equivalent of the electrophile was used in each reaction.
Substitution and elimination: predict the product Maximum allowed tries per question: Unlimited (7) Draw the major organic product of the reaction. Follow this procedure: determine whether the reaction conditions are acidic or basic; identify the most nucleophilic/basic atom, the electrophilic atom, and the leaving group; predict whether elimination or substitution will occur; and then draw the product. Indicate the stereochemistry at every stereocenter with a single wedged (up), hashed (down), or wavy (a mixture of up and down; either) bond.
