Question

What is the product of the reaction below? 2) H30 b) HO O a) Ob) Oc) None of the structures shown is the product.

Answer 1

You have a nucleophile in the reaction vand two centres which can react with this nucleophile and H+ to give addition product. One is C=C group and another one is ketone group.

Keto group has electrophilic carbon which attracts the nucleophile and followed by abstraction of H+ by O-. Thus the right answer is c.

The reaction is given below

for at H+ H20 product
