Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The more reactive alkene towards the acid-catalyzed hydration is to be interpreted.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: The more reactive alkene from 2-methyl-2-butene and 3-methyl-1-butene toward the acid-catalyzed hydration is to be interpreted.
Concept introduction:
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one double bond between the carbon atoms. The presence of pi bonds in these molecules makes them more reactive compared to saturated hydrocarbons; alkanes. The stability of alkenes depends on the substituted groups.
