Assertion : When 2, 3-dimethyl butane-2, 3-diol is treated with dil. H_(2)SO_(4) , the major product is pinacolone. Reason : The reaction proceeds via carbocation intermediate and its rearrangement.

Acid catalysed hydration of alkene gives alcohol. In this reaction addition of water takes place according to Markownikoff's rule. Since intermediate carbocation is formed in this reaction, rearrangement of carbocation takes place. In oxymercuration-demercuration reaction hydration of alkene takes place according to Markownikoff's rule. Oxymercuration demercuration is a better process than the catalytic hydration of alkene because in oxymercuration-demercuration, no rearrangement is possible. In hydroboration oxidation, hydration of alkene takes place as if it is according to anti-Markownikoff's addition. In hydroboration oxidation reaction rearrangement is not possible. Both in oxymercuration-demercuration and hydroboration oxidation intermediate carbocation are not formed. The product formed in the following reaction is

S_N^1 reaction takes placed in two steps. The relative reactivity of an alkyl halide in S_N^1 reaction depends on the relative stability of carbocations formed by ionisation. What will happen to the optical activity of a dextro rotatory isomer of alkyl halide if it undergoes hydrolysis by S_N^1 mechanism ?

The hydration of alkenes in the presence of acids proceed via carbocation mechanisms as given below: and that carbocation is formed which is most stable, It is observed that alkenes are more reactive than alkynes towards any electrophile. This reaction, i.e., the electrophilic addition reaction of alkenes and alkynes with symmetrical addendum This shows that all reactions of alkenes and alkynes for electrophilic addition reactions may either take place via intermediates of transition state.

(-)2 - methylbutan- 1 - ol on heating with conc. HCl gives (+)1 - chloro - 2 - methylbutane by SN^(2) mechanism. Which of the following statement are correct i) reaction proceeds through retension of configuration at stereocentre ii) reaction proceeds through inversion of configuration at stereocentre iii) reaction proceeds directly through a transition state iv) reaction proceeds through carbocation intermediate

Which of the following statements regarding carbonyl group is not correct? The carbon atom of the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones is sp^(2) hybridised, The carbon atom of the carbonyl group in the transition state formed during the addition reaction across it sp^(3) hybridised, An aryl group stabilizes an aldehyde more than the transition state, The aryl group in aromatic aldehydes speeds up the addition reaction across the carbonyl group
