Which of the following reagent is used to convert alkene to alcohol through hydration ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D in presence of
Correct answer
D. in presence of
Step-by-step solution
Hydration of alkenes to alcohols requires the addition of water across the carbon-carbon double bond.
Since water is a weak acid, it cannot initiate the electrophilic addition reaction on its own. An acid catalyst is required to provide ions, which attack the double bond to form a carbocation intermediate.
Therefore, in the presence of a strong acid like (dilute sulfuric acid) is used as the reagent for the hydration of alkenes to yield alcohols.
