(a)
Interpretation:Structure of the alcohol that would be the major product of acid-catalyzed hydration should be written.
Concept introduction:Acid-catalyzed hydration is the electrophilic addition of water. The reactive species that act as a catalyst are

(c)
Interpretation: Structure of the alcohol that would be the major product of acid-catalyzed hydration should be written.
Concept introduction:Acid-catalyzed hydration is the electrophilic addition of water. The reactive species that act as a catalyst are
in the first stage. In the second stage, water itself acts as a nucleophile and another water abstracts a proton to give final hydration product as illustrated below.

If more than one product is formed indicate which one you expect to be the major product.arrow_forwardWhat two alkenes give rise to each alcohol as the major product of acid-catalyzed hydration?arrow_forwardIndicate the products obtained when reactinga) Ethyl ethanoate b) Ethyl benzoatewith 1 or 2 (in each case) equivalents of CH3MgI/Et2Oarrow_forward
- Provide structure(s) for the starting material(s), reagent(s) or the major organic product(s) of each of the following reactions.arrow_forwardExplain what is meant by reduction in organic reactionsand provide an example of a reduction reaction involvingan aldehyde or ketone.arrow_forwardState and useMarkovnikov's rule and a displayed/structural formula tosuggest the dominant product when hydrogen chloride reacts with 2-methylbut-2-ene. Provide the IUPAC name of the product obtainedarrow_forward
- Write the structure of the principal organic product of each reactionarrow_forwardThe conversion of alcohols into alkyl halides by reaction with hydrogen halides is an example of a Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction. This kind of reaction can proceed by two different mechanisms depending on the structure of alcohol substrates used. Generally, primary alcohols are substituted via SN2 mechanism, while secondary and tertiary alcohols undergo SN1 mechanism. Consider the following reaction given in the picture below and the questions in the picture too.arrow_forwardGive the major organic product(s) for each of the following reactions. Write NR if a reaction will not occur.arrow_forward
