- Secondary or tertiary alcohol.
Alkenes react with water in the presence of acid as a catalyst to form alcohol. In case of unsymmetrical alkenes, OH is added to the carbon having fewer hydrogen atoms according to Markovnikov's rule.
Hence, acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes except ethene leads to the formation of secondary or tertiary alcohol. To obtain primary alcohol, hydroboration oxidation is used.
