What is correct order of acid catalysedhydation of following alkene ?
(I) CH2=CH2 (II) CH3–CH=CH2
(III) (CH3)2C=CH2 (IV) CH3–CH=CH–CH3
A
III > I > II > IV
B
III > IV > II > I
C
II > IV > III > I
D
I > II > III > IV
Answer
III > IV > II > I
Explanation
Solution
Electron releasing group and stability of carbocation/halonium ion will decide rate of reaction in electrophilic addition reaction.
