What is the order of reactivity of these alkenes ( C H 3 ) 2 C = C H 2 ( I ) , C H 3 C H = C H 2 ( I I ) and C H 2 = C H 2 ( I I I ) when subject to acid-catalysed hydration?
Options
- AI > II > III
- BI > III > II
- CIII > II > I
- DII > I > III
Correct answer
A. I > II > III
Step-by-step solution
The order of acid catalysed hydration can be given on the basis of stability of carbocations formed as follows
