WE LIVE IN THE HOLOCENE EPOCH
Answer:
This reaction is an hydration of alkenes and the major product is 3-ethyl-2-heptanol
Explanation:
In this reaction in the first step water is the nuclophile and the alkene is the electrophile. Then, the carbanion is the nucleophile and attacks a proton from the water forming the respective alcohol. This carbanionic compound is a reaction intermediary. You can see the mechanism in the picture.
Is that carbanionic compound who explained the major product because the more substituted carbanion the most stable intermediary. Thus, the 3-ethyl-2-heptanol intermediary is the most stable and this product is the major one.
I hope it helps!
<span>Good Morning!
To measure the volume of an acid we use in the laboratory an instrument called burette (a). This instrument is used to calculate the volumes of chemical solutions. At first glance, these tools may be confused with syringes, but have different functions.
