Vedclass · Answer

(C) Acid hydration of alkenes follows Markovnikov's rule,where the electrophile $H^+$ adds to the carbon with more hydrogen atoms to form the most stable carbocation intermediate.For $(CH_3)_2C=CH_2$ (isobutylene),the addition of $H^+$ leads to the formation of a tertiary carbocation: $(CH_3)_2C^+-CH_3$.This tertiary carbocation is then attacked by water $(H_2O)$ to form the protonated alcohol,which subsequently loses a proton to yield tertiary butyl alcohol,$(CH_3)_3C-OH$.The reaction sequence is:$(CH_3)_2C=CH_2 \xrightarrow{H^+} (CH_3)_3C^+$$(CH_3)_3C^+ \xrightarrow{H_2O} (CH_3)_3C-OH_2^+$$(CH_3)_3C-OH_2^+ \xrightarrow{-H^+} (CH_3)_3C-OH$ (tertiary butyl alcohol).

Among the alkenes,which one produces tertiary butyl alcohol on acid hydration?
