Predict the major product of this organic reaction: CH2 ` =CH - CH3 + H2o __> H+?Specifically, in the drawing area below draw the condensed structure of the major product: If there is no reaction, check the No reaction box under the drawing area.

Answer :

The reaction mechanism following path 1 and path 2 are CH3CHCH2OH as the major product.

The product that is produced in the greatest amount in a chemical reaction is referred to as major product.

From the reaction Path 1 and 2, it is evident that from path 1, the reaction product formed by forming secondary carbocation that is more stable than primary carbocation formed in path 2.

Therefore, the major product will be from the path 1 due to the greater stability of secondary carbocation intermediate.

Thus, the major product is the one formed in path 1  CH3CHCH2OH.
