I am completing my lab assignment called synthesis of an alcohol by hydrating an alkene.  Get two small test tubes. Place 1 mL of bromine water into each of the two test tubes.Add about three drops of the product and hex-1-eneinto each of the two test tubes. Swirl the contents of the tubes. Record you observations.  My observations were: cyclohexene turned clear, the cyclohexanol turned yellow. Based on these reults, was I able to synthesize the of hexan-2-ol from the hydration of hex-1-ene?
