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,
