QUESTION:
Predict the products of the following reactions. When more than one product is expected, predict which will be the major product.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
All three reactions involve alcohol in presence of an acid which leads to hydration leading to an alkene. The major product is the alkene which is more substituted because these are more stable from the less substituted ones. And also, the intermediate involved in these reactions are carbocations. More substituted carbocations have greater stability.
