What is the major product of the hydration of following alkenes? (i) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-CH=C{{H}_{2}}\] (ii) \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{{}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-CH=C{{H}_{2}}\]

Answer:

(i) \[\underset{\text{2,}\,\text{3-Dimethylbutan-2-ol}}{\mathop{\overset{1}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}                 | \\                 OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}                 \,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\                 | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2CH}}}\,-\overset{3}{\mathop{C}}\,H-\overset{4}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] (ii)\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}   \\  \text{4-Methylpentan-2-ol} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{5}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  4| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-\overset{3}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{2}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,H-\overset{1}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
