Question
Hydration of 2-methyl-1-propene (with H2O/H2SO4) gives :
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Hydration of 2-methyl-1-propene (CH3-C(CH3)=CH2) follows Markovnikov's rule. Water adds to give tert-butyl alcohol ((CH3)3COH), where the OH group is attached to the more substituted (tertiary) carbon.
Hint
