Q
Q: Which of the following is the correct mechanism for the hydration of an alkene?
Solution:
The hydration of an alkene occurs via an electrophilic addition mechanism, where the alkene acts as a nucleophile.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
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.
