STANDARD Chemistry Electrophilic Addition Reactions MCQ Question
Identify the products X and Y formed in the following reaction. CH₃—CH₂—CH=CH—CH₃ + HCl → X + Y
X = CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Cl, Y = CH₃—CH—CH₂CH₃
X = CH₃—CH₂—CH—CH₂—CH₃, Y = CH₃—CH—CH₂—CH₂—CH₃
X = CH₃CH₂—CH—CHCH₃, Y = CH₃—CH—CH—CHCH₃
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the addition of HCl to the alkene, the H attaches to the carbon with more hydrogens, and Cl attaches to the carbon with fewer hydrogens, following Markovnikov's rule.
