only mechanism of alkenes
Answers
The mechanism of hydration involves electrophlic addition of the proton (or acid) to the double bond to form a carbocation intermediate. Addition of water in the second step results in formation of an oxonium ion, which, upon deprotonation, gives the alcohol.
Answer:
First, a strong electrophile attracts the loosely held electrons from the pi bond of an alkene. The elections from the pi bond of an alkene. The electrophile forms a sigma bond to one of the carbons of the (former) double bond, while the other carbon becomes a carbocation.
Electrophilic Addition to Alkenes Mechanism.
Electrophilic addition to Alkenes starts with the pi electrons attacking an electrophile, forming a carbocation on the most stable carbon. A nucleophile then attacks the carbocation to from the product.
