Answers
The major product of the given reaction is (c) 3,3-dimethyl butan-2-ol
- the given reaction is acidic hydrolysis of 3,3-dimethy but-1-ene
-it takes place according to markonikov's rule
- the negative part OH- attaches to the 2nd carbon which has lesser no of H atoms (only one hydrogen)
- the positive part H+ attaches to the 1st carbon atom which has greater no of H atoms ( 2 hydrogen atoms)
- so the major product of the following reaction is 3,3-dimethyl butan-2-ol along with some minor products also
