Propose a mechanism for the following reaction:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reaction mechanism is an acid hydrolysis reaction and it is given below.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Definition of hydration reaction

The addition of water to a molecule is called hydration reaction, so we can say that an alkene is hydratedin the presence of water and acid as only water is not a good electrophile to do addition reaction with alkene.

02

Stability of carbocation

That reaction will be hydrated rapidly which forms a stable carbocation in the transition state. The stability of carbocation depends on the hyperconjugation and the degree of carbocation formed.

The series of carbocation according to their stability is,

3°>2°>1°.

03

Reaction mechanisms

The reaction mechanism is given below,

Which is more stable?

What stereoisomers are obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following compounds?Assign an Ror Sconfiguration to each asymmetric center.

a. cyclohexene c. cis-2-butene

b. 1-ethylcyclohexene d. (Z)-3,4-dimethyl-3-hexene

When Br2adds to a cis alkene that has different substituents attached to each of the two sp2carbons, such as cis-2-heptene, identical amounts of the two threo enantiomers are obtained even though Br-is more likely to attack the less sterically hindered carbon of the bromonium ion. Explain why identical amounts of the two enantiomers are obtained.

What stereoisomers are obtained when (S)-3-methyl-1-pentene reacts with Cl2?
