The best method to prepare $3-$methylbutan$-2-ol$ from $3-$methylbut$-1-$ene is:
✓
Answer
To prepare $3-$methylbutan$-2-ol$ from $3-$methylbut$-1-$ene shouls involve Markovnikov's addition of $H−OH$ across double bond.Addition of water in presence of dil. $\ce{H_2SO_4}$ follows Markovnikov's addition of $H−OH$ across the alkene.
Addition of $\text{HCI}$ followed by reaction with dil. $\text{NaOH}$ to an alkene can give substitution and elimination product after alkyl halide formation.
Hydroboration$-$oxidation reaction follows Anti$-$Markovnikov's addition of $H−OH.$
Reimer $-$ Tiemann reaction is a chemical reaction used for the ortho$-$formylation of phenols.
Thus the best method to prepare $3-$methylbutan$-2-ol$ from $3-$methylbut$-1-$ene is the addition of water in presence of dil. $\ce{H_{2}SO_4}.$
