The reaction with detailed mechanism for the formation of the given compound from the corresponding
Concept introduction:
The electrophilic addition reaction of an alkene occurs through formation of a more stable carbocation. The electrophilic addition of water across the double bond in an acidic condition produces the alcohol product. The reaction proceeds with proton transfer reaction to form a stable carbocation, followed by the action of water as a nucleophile.
Answer to Problem 11.33P
The reaction equation and the detailed mechanism for the formation of
Explanation of Solution
The structure for the given compound
To form the given alcohol by electrophilic addition of water, the double bond must be between the carbon where the
The reaction occurs in acidic condition. Thus the first step is the formation of a secondary carbocation by proton transfer reaction. The proton transfers to the less substituted carbon, forming a more stable carbocation.
In the second step, the water molecule acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbocation, forming the desired product, followed by deprotonation of the positively charged oxygen.
