Hydration is the process of adding water to alkenes in a net amount. The outcome is the production of a C-H bond and a C-OH bond, as well as the breakdown of the pi bond in the alkene and an OH bond in water.
Hydration Catalyzed by Acid
The proton (or acid) is electrophlically added to the double bond to produce a carbocation intermediate during hydration. The addition of water in the second stage produces an oxonium ion, which deprotonates to give the alcohol.
