Chapter 7.8, Problem 16P

Interpretation Introduction

a)

Interpretation:

The product of the reaction shown is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In addition reactions small molecules like HCl, H₂O, HBr etc. add to the double bond in an alkene to yield a single product. The addition to unsymmetrical alkenes will follow Markovnikov’s rule which states that “in the addition of HX to an alkene, the H adds to the carbon with fewer alkyl substituents and X adds to the carbon with more alkyl substituents”.

To predict:

The product in the reaction shown.
