Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The starting material for this reaction is 2-methyl-1-butene, which is an alkene with a double bond between carbons 2 and 3, and a methyl group on carbon 2. The reaction involves adding water (H2O) across the double bond to form an alcohol. This type of reaction is called hydration. The water adds to the less substituted carbon, which in this case is carbon 2. Thus, the product will have a hydroxyl group (-OH) on carbon 2 and a methyl group on carbon 3. Counting from the primary alcohol end, the substituent groups are at positions 2 and 3. Therefore, the correct name is 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol.
