1. Consider the reaction scheme below Dilute Acid (H3O*) a. Draw two different possible arrow pushing mechanisms for the hydration of this alkene according to the reaction conditions shown above to yield either a secondary or a primary alcohol as products (one mechanism for each potential product). Explain which product would form preferentially over the other, and specifically label an intermediate that can explain the observed regioselectivity and provide a brief explanation for your choice. Note: do not consider any potential rearrangements for your answer in part a.
