Predict the neutral organic product of the reaction of cycloheptene with water and sulfuric acid.
1 answer:
The term hydration of an alkene is defined as the addition of water across a double bond.
<h3>What is hydration?</h3>The term hydration of an alkene is defined as the addition of water across a double bond. The process of hydration always yields an alcohol as -OH is aded to one of the carbon atoms in the doube bond.
The reaction commences with the attack of the -OH group by water and is completed by a proton from acid. The neutral organic product of the reaction of cycloheptene with water and sulfuric acid is shown in the image attached.

Answer and explanation:
cyclopentadiene is more acidic than cyclopentane
hydrocarbon compound are weak acid in nature
This relative acidity is explained by the stability of
cyclopentadienyl anion which is aromatic in nature
(check the attached image file 1)
To answer this question we must look at the stability of the anions that are formed when the compound lose proton.
All the electron in the cyclopentyl anion are localized.
In contrast, the aromatic cyclopentadienyl anion is a stable carbanion as a result of its aromaticity therefore making its conjugate acid a very strong acid compare to other compounds with hydrogen attached to sp³ carbons
