What is the result of adding concentrated sulphuric acid to an alkene at high temperatures instead of cold temperatures?
Options
- ANo reaction occurs
- BMarkovnikov rule is not followed
- CAlkane formation
- DAlkyl sulfide formation
Correct answer
B. Markovnikov rule is not followed
Step-by-step solution
At high temperatures, the addition of concentrated sulphuric acid may not follow the Markovnikov rule, leading to different products.
