Which of the following reagent is used to convert alkene to alcohol through hydration ?

Options

  1. AKMnO4\text{KMnO}_4
  2. BH2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4
  3. CH2O\text{H}_2\text{O}
  4. DH2O\text{H}_2\text{O} in presence of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4

Correct answer

D. H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} in presence of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4

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 H+\text{H}^+ ions, which attack the double bond to form a carbocation intermediate.

Therefore, H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} in the presence of a strong acid like H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 (dilute sulfuric acid) is used as the reagent for the hydration of alkenes to yield alcohols.

Answer: H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} in presence of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4
