Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To synthesize butanol (butan-1-ol) and butan-2-ol from butene, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Synthesis of Butan-1-ol 1. **Starting Material**: Begin with butene (C4H8). 2. **Reagent**: Use HBr (hydrobromic acid) for the reaction. 3. **Reaction Type**: Perform an anti-Markovnikov addition. This means that the bromine (Br) will add to the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond. 4. **Product Formation**: The addition of HBr to butene will yield 1-bromobutane (C4H9Br). 5. **Next Step**: Treat 1-bromobutane with aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH). ...
