  • question_answer
    Alkenes convert into alcohols by               [MP PET 1991]

    A)                 Hydrolysis by dil. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)                 Hydration of alkene by alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)                 Hydrolysis by water vapours and conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)                 Hydration of alkene by aqueous KOH

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                \[C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O+[O]\xrightarrow{\text{alk}.KMn{{O}_{4}}}\underset{\text{Glycol}}{\mathop{\underset{OH\,\,}{\mathop{\underset{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,}}\,-\underset{OH\,\,}{\mathop{\underset{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,}}\,}}\,\]                     \[\underset{\text{Ethene}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{\text{Conc}\text{.}{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}\underset{\text{Ethanol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-OH}}\,\]
