When 1-methylcyclopentene undergoes acid catalyzed hydration, the major product formed is 1-methylcyclopentanol. What change(s) in the reactants would result in 2-methylcyclopentanol being the major product

Conversion of 1-methyl cyclopentene to 2-methyl cyclopentanol.

Explanation:

When alkenes react with diborane followed by the reaction with hydrogen peroxide and NaOH then the least substituted carbon in the double bond will be substituted.

The formation of 2-methyl cyclopentanol from 1-methyl cyclopentene is shown below:

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
