Step 1: Alkene protonation and production of a carbocation
Step 2: Water’s nucleophilic assault
Step 3: Deprotonation occurs, resulting in the formation of alcohol. H30+ is now available.
Preparation of alcohols from alkenes involves the electrophilic attack on an alkene carbon atom. Explain its mechanism.
