Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given that treatment of 4-pentene-1-ol with aqueous bromine yields 2-(bromomethyl) tetrahydrofuran rather than expected bromohydrin. A mechanism for this reaction, using curved arrows to show the electron movement, is to be proposed.

The addition of bromine to
To propose:
A mechanism for the reaction in which 4-pentene-1-ol on treatment with aqueous bromine yields 2-(bromomethyl)tetrahydrofuran using curved arrows to show the electron movement.
