Expert Solution
Introduction

Addition of HX to conjugated alkenes occurs via two modes:

  1. Direct addition (1,2 addition): HX adds directly across the ends of a C=C bond.
  2. Conjugate addition (1,4 addition): HX adds across the ends of conjugated system.

The distribution of the products depends on the reaction conditions (temperature). 

1,2 adduct

At low temperature, the reaction is under Kinetic control (rate, irreversible conditions) and the major product is that from fastest reaction, that of the bromide with the secondary cation.
