When the following compound is hydrated in the presence of acid, the unreacted alkene is found to have retained the deuterium atoms: What does the preceding statement tell you about the mechanism for hydration?
Added by Justin B.
Step 1
Step 1: The presence of deuterium atoms in the unreacted alkene indicates that the mechanism for hydration is likely an acid-catalyzed addition reaction. Show more…

When the following compound is hydrated in the presence of acid, the unreacted alkene is found to have retained the deuterium atoms. What does this tell you about the mechanism for hydration?
What is the rule of hydration reaction of an alkene? Please give at least one example. Please tell if 1-hexene show cis/trans isomerism, please also explain why. Please give one example for the primary alcohol, one example for the secondary alcohol, one example for the tertiary alcohol. Please tell if the 1-heptanol dissolve in water? Please also explain why.

When the deuterium-labeled compound shown at right is subjected to dehydrohalogenation using sodium cthoxide in cthanol, the only alkene product is 3 -methylcyclohexene. (The product contains no deuterium.) Provide an explanation for this result. (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
