Predict the neutral organic product of the following reaction. 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.

Respuesta :

The oxygen of water molecule being electron rich abstracts the proton from the oxonium ion to form hydronium ion.

What is neutral organic?

The microbial decay of dead plant and animal matter is what causes NOM to exist in the environment. The Chemistry of Silica and Zeolite-Based Materials

What is hydrogen atom?

The chemical element hydrogen is represented by the atom known as hydrogen. The Coulomb force holds one negatively charged electron and one positively charged proton to the nucleus of the electrically neutral atom, which has one proton that is positively charged. Of the universe's total baryonic mass, atomic hydrogen accounts for about 75%.

The given reaction is an acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes. The hydration reaction converts an alkene to an alcohol.

Hydration of alkenes involves the conversion of alkenes to alcohols via the addition of water. Acid catalyzed hydration involves the presence of an acid such as sulphury acid.

Since, a carbocation is formed in the acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes, hence carbocation rearrangement occurs to form a more stable carbocation.

In the above step, the attack of double bond on the hydronium ion takes place to form a 2° carbocation. The direction of electrons is from the electron rich π bond to proton.

In the above step, the nucleophilic attack of water takes place on the secondary 2° carbocation to form the oxonium ion. The direction of movement is from the electron rich water molecule to the electron deficient carbocation species.

Finally, in the above step, the deprotonation of the oxonium ion takes place to form cyclooctane. The oxygen of water molecule being electron rich abstracts the proton from the oxonium ion to form hydronium ion.

Therefore,  the oxygen of water molecule being electron rich abstracts the proton from the oxonium ion to form hydronium ion.
