Hydration reaction of alkene is catalyzed by dilute acid. Selection of acid is important . Conjugate base of the acid should not interfere in the reaction. There are other means by which alkenes can be converted to alcohols. Oxymercuration demercuration gives Markovnikoff's alcohols while hydroboration oxidation give Anti Markovnikoff's alcohol. When subjected to acid catalyzed hydration which of the following alkene will give rearrangement alcohol as the predominant product?
