Given in the link
Why would the proposed synthesis be successful if the reaction stopped after 2 hrs?
How does H attack compound 2 to create compound 3?
After 2 hrs. Compound 1 is higher than compound 2. Compound 1 is less polar than compound 2. So if that was the case, than the products would be compound 2.
I don't understand why H would react with the OH group and detach it away from Compound 2.
Thank you for the help!
