Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Alkene hydration is a catalytic process that involves the addition of water across the double bond of an alkene to produce alcohol. This is the most direct and atom-economical approach to the synthesis of alcohols. Acid-catalyzed alkene hydration is the most well-known hydration process. This process is used industrially with several different acidic species as the catalyst, including zeolites, oxides, solid phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid. There are several major drawbacks to this catalytic process. The first drawback is the acidic environment which is very corrosive and can lead to degradation of reactors or the need to use specially engineered and expensive reactors to resist the acidic conditions. Another drawback is the acidic environment required for hydration is not suitable for alkenes with acid-sensitive functional groups. Thus, this process is typically only used with simple alkenes such as ethylene, propylene, and butenes. The final and biggest drawback is the selectivity of the reaction. Acid-catalyzed hydration follows Markovnikov’s rule which states that the proton will add to the carbon with the most hydrogens attached to it. Therefore, starting with propylene, acid-catalyzed hydration will always be selective for internal alcohols (secondary or tertiary). Except for ethanol, primary alcohols cannot be synthesized by acid-catalyzed hydration. Generally, primary alcohols are the more valuable commodity industrially. Therefore, different synthetic strategies have to be invented for the synthesis of primary alcohols.
