Answer to Problem 11.52P
For the given reaction, the major product formed is,
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
There are two
In the first step, an alkenyl carbocation is formed by addition of proton the triple bond. A more stable carbocation, with the positive charge on the secondary carbon, is produced.
In the second step, the conjugate base
Since the product has a
