For example, ethanol, CH 3 âCH 2 âOH, is the product of the hydration reaction of ethene, CH 2 =CH 2, formed by the addition of H to one C and OH to the other C, and so can be considered as the hydrate of ethene. A molecule of water may be eliminated, for example by the action of sulfuric acid. Another example is chloral hydrate, CCl 3 âCH(OH) 2, which can be formed by reaction of water with chloral, CCl 3 âCH=O.
