- Alkenes can be converted into alcohols by acid-catalyze addition of water. Predict the major alcohol product from this alkene below.arrow_forward1. Predict the product, and propose a mechanism for the following nucleophilic addition to aldehyde or ketone. Are the products different from one another? Why do the reactions proceed via different mechanisms? Note the charges on the intermediates of acid and base catalyzed reactions.

- Propose a structure for an aromatic hydrocarbon, C10H14, that can form only one C10H13Cl product on substitution of a hydrogen on the aromatic ring with chlorine.arrow_forwardCH3 གོན་ནི། ཡོན་ Br₂, H₂C CH₂Br H3C CH3 H₂C CH3 Aldehydes and ketones can be halogenated at their a-position by reaction with Cl₂, Br2, or 12, under acidic conditions. Using Br₂ under acidic conditions, an intermediate enol is formed which adds bromine at the a-position. The reaction stops after the addition of one bromine because the electron-withdrawing halogen decreases the basicity of the carbonyl oxygen, making the protonation less favorable. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions :0: :OH н-он H-OH₂ H₂O H₂C. H3C.
