Question

Predict the neutral organic product of the following reaction. Include hydrogen atoms in your structure. When drawing hydrogen atoms on a carbon atom, either include all hydrogen atoms or none on that carbon atom, or your structure may be marked incorrect.

Answer 1

Concepts and reason

Draw the neutral organic product for the reaction between an alkene and methanol by using Markovnikov’s rule. According to this rule, the negatively charged species (i.e. methoxide ion in this case) attacks at more substituted carbon atom.

Fundamentals

Alkenes react with methanol in presence of an acid ${{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{4}}}$ to form ethers as products. The reaction between 3-methylbut-1-ene and HI undergo in three steps. They are,

1.Protonation

2.Nucleophilic attack

3.deprotonation

The reaction is,

Ans:

Thus, the neutral organic products is,

Answer 2

This would be the neutral organic product.
