AIIMS 2018 Chemistry Addition Reactions MCQ Question

The reaction of the given compound with 2 HBr leads to the formation of a dibrominated product, as the presence of two equivalents of HBr allows for the addition of bromine across a double bond or a functional group, resulting in option B. Other options may represent incomplete reactions or incorrect substitution patterns, such as monobromination or rearrangement, which do not account for the full addition of both HBr molecules. Understanding the mechanism of electrophilic addition is crucial, as it illustrates how multiple equivalents of a reagent can react with unsaturated compounds to yield more complex products.
