Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is the correct mechanism for the hydration of an alkene?
  • Step 1: Identify the alkene, which is a molecule with a carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Step 2: Recognize that hydration means adding water (H2O) to the alkene.
  • Step 3: Understand that the alkene acts as a nucleophile, meaning it donates electrons.
  • Step 4: The double bond in the alkene attacks a proton (H+) from an acid, forming a carbocation (a positively charged carbon).
  • Step 5: Water (H2O) then attacks the carbocation, adding an -OH group to the carbon.
  • Step 6: Finally, a proton (H+) is removed from the -OH group, resulting in the formation of an alcohol.
