Propan-1-ol and 2-methylpropan-1-ol cannot be prepared by hydration of propene and 2- methylprop-1-ene because the addition reaction follows Markovnikov’s rule.
The Markovnikov rule is a generalization in organic chemistry that states that via unsymmetrical alkene reactions, electron-rich components of reagents add to carbon atoms with fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to them, while electron-deficient components add to carbon atoms with more hydrogen atoms attached to them; proved by Vladimir Vasilyevich Markovnikov in 1869.
