Answer to Problem 11.11P
The complete mechanism of the given addition reaction is
The product of the reaction is
Explanation of Solution
The given addition reaction is
Water is a weak acid and does not add to the alkene in neutral conditions. In the presence of the strong acid HCl, water is protonated to
This is the electrophilic addition step. In the next step, a molecule of water acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbocation to form protonated alcohol.
Final deprotonation by another molecule of water gives the final product, cyclohexanol.
Thus, the complete mechanism for the reaction can be drawn as
And the product of the reaction is cyclohexanol
Weak Bronsted acids can add to an alkene in the presence of a strong acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn and the product is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
A weak acid can add to an alkene in the presence of a strong acid. Because of the leveling effect, the protonated form of a weak acid is the strongest acid that can exist, so the strong acid protonates the weak acid. This protonated form of the weak acid is a good electrophile because of the positive charge. The double bond in the alkene is an electron-rich region and behaves as a nucleophile. The

The complete mechanism for the given addition reaction is
The product of the reaction is
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
In the presence of a strong acid
In the next step, a molecule of ethanol will act as a nucleophile and form a bond with the carbocation, using a lone pair on oxygen.
This results in the formation of protonated ether, which is deprotonated by another molecule of ethanol in the final step.
Thus, the complete mechanism for this addition reaction can be drawn as
And the product of the reaction is
Weak Bronsted acids can add to an alkene in the presence of a strong acid.
