Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

Question Explanation:

Question is asking about the synthesis reaction.

Concept:

This question is based on Electrophilic Addition of alkene (Hydration of Alkenes).

Option (1): It describes hydroboration oxidation of alkene followed by intramolecular SN² reaction.

(Correct)

Option (2): The reagents adds water across a double bond, forming a Markovnikov addition alcohol

without rearrangement (Oxymercuration-demercuration OMDM). Final product is formed by

intramolecular SN² reaction. (Correct)

Option (3): This is acid-catalyzed hydration of isobutene, forming tert-butanol — Markovnikov addition.

(Correct)

Option (4): Aryl halides (Ph–Br) does not undergo SN² reactions, so the given product cannot be formed.

(Incorrect)

(3)
