    I have a question over Problem 9.36 from David Klein’s Chapter 9 on Addition Reactions of Alkenes. I’ve noted acid-catalyzed hydrations in Chapter 9 don’t seem to note anything about their properties of syn- or anti- addition processes. Why don’t acid-catalyzed hydrations contain descriptions of whether they’re anti- or syn- additions? I know that the compound in Problem 9.36 doesn’t contain a hydrogen whose stereochemistry would matter, but what about the acid-catalyzed hydrations with hydrogens whose stereochemistry does matter? 9.36...

    Acid Catalyzed Hydration-treatment of alkenes with water in the presence of acid catalyst leads to the formation of alcohols. H2SO4/H2O > 150°C Mechanism Major Product Acid catalyzed dehydration goes through a carbocation intermediate. This means that the Markovnikov product is obtained when carbocation rearrangements do not occur. The need for excessively high temperatures makes this reaction of limited use in laboratory synthesis. Oxymercuration - Oxymercuration involves the addition of Hg to the alkene using mercury (II) acetate Hg(OAc) followed by...
