Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Among the given reactions, the one which gives two different halogenated hydrocarbons has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
In this reaction no atoms or group of atoms are removed. Instead the unsaturated bond is reduced to saturated bond. A general scheme for addition reaction of
Addition reactions can be classified broadly into two types. They are asymmetrical addition reaction and symmetrical addition reaction.
Symmetrical addition reactions is the one in which the same atom or same group of atoms are added across the carbon‑carbon multiple bonds.
Unsymmetrical addition reactions is the one in which the different atom or different group of atoms are added across the carbon‑carbon multiple bonds.
Hydrohalogenation is an unsymmetrical addition reaction. In this reaction a hydrogen atom and a halogen atom are added across the multiple bond. If the alkene considered is a symmetrical one, then only one product is formed. If the alkene considered is an unsymmetrical one, then two products are formed which depends on which side of the double bond the atoms gets attached.
