Question

Alkenes can be converted into alcohols by acid-catalyzed addition of water. Assuming that Markovnikov's rule is valid, predict the major alcohol product from the following alkene. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. • Remember to consider hydride and alkyl shifts.
