17. In the following reaction, it was found by isotope scrambling experiments that the acid and the water add to the alkene in a single step. Hence, the More O'Ferrall-Jencks plot shows a diagonal that represents this single-step process. The other pos- sible competing mechanisms involve intermediates placed on the other corners of this diagram. Explain what happens to the extent of protonation in the transition state of the single-step process if the strength of the acid is increased. What hap- pens to the extent of nucleophilic attack at the transition state as the acid strength is increased? Does your result seem rea- sonable? Explain. НА O. НА

Step 2 of the iodination of benzene shows water acting as a base and removing a proton from the sigma complex. We did notconsider the possibility of water acting as a nucleophile and attacking the carbocation, as in an electrophilic addition to an alkene.Draw the reaction that would occur if water reacted as a nucleophile and added to the carbocation. Explain why this type ofaddition is rarely observed.
