1
Q
Base Catalyzed Hydration
What is the product?
A
Geminal diol + -OH
2
Q
Base Catalyzed Hydration
What attacks the carbonyl carbon?
What protonates the O-?
A
-OH attacks carbon
H2O protonates the O-
3
Q
Acid Catalyzed Hydration
What is the first step?
What attacks the carbonyl carbon?
What deprotonates the H2O?
A
Activate (protonate) the C=O with H3O+
H2O attacks carbonyl carbon
H2O, regenerates H3O+
