In chemistry, a hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water. In organic chemistry, water is added to an unsaturated substrate, which is usually an alkene or an alkyne. This type of reaction is employed industrially to produce ethanol, isopropanol, and 2-butanol.[1]
For the hydration of alkenes, the general chemical equation of the reaction is the following:
RRCH=CH2 in H2O/acid → RRCH(-OH)-CH3
For the hydration of alkenes, the general chemical equation of the reaction is the following:
RRCH=CH2 in H2O/acid → RRCH(-OH)-CH3
