39when reaction was analyzed it was found it contains almost no deuterium
can u elaborate on this?
addition of D20 TO 2 methyl 2 butene (in presence of D+) gave alcohol
(CH3)2-C(OD)CHDCH3 . when reaction was analyzed it was found it contains almost no deuterium what does this tell about the reaction mechanism ? please guide as if have no idea about organic [2]

1yes the unreacted sample was that is alkene was isolated and then it was analyzed and the analysis showed that it contains no deuterium
1i think the ren mix. should contain deutarium as.
if u say as hydration -dehydration arre in equili: then
u'll ge (CH3)2-C=CDCH3(as c-h bond is less stronger than c-d bond)
an d again after one hydraton u'll get
(CH3)2-C(OD)CDCH3
so the ren mixture should contain deutorium
Plz correct if i am wrong
1assume we hw taken equal quantities of D2O and the alkene now the reaction proceeds with formation of carbocation as D+ gets added so the entire D2O gets used so wen we test for D in the reaction sample it gives a negative test....
1what's bothering me is whether the alcohol contais no D or the mdm .?[7]
1i am speech less on this prob. as according me under all circumstannces d must be preasent over there
1i know that is why i am so tensed why it is not there they asked that d is not there . then wat does this tell abt mechanism, ?? [2] some one pls reply [2]
