Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Among the given reactions, the one which is not a symmetrical addition reaction has to be identified.
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.
