Q. 2-phenyl propene on acidic hydration gives,
A) 2-phenyl-2-propanol
B) 2-phenyl-1-propanol
C) 3-phenyl-1-propanol
D) 1-phenyl-2-propanol
Explanation
(a)
Acidic hydration of 2-phenyl propene follows electrophilic reaction mechanism forming an intermediate $3{^\circ}$ carbocation (more stable), thereby forming 2-phenyl-2-propanol.
