Question

What is the product of this electrophilic addition reaction?

### Addition of HCl to 3-Methyl-1-butene

When 3-methyl-1-butene is reacted with hydrogen chloride (HCl), the product formed can be one of several different alkyl chlorides. The reaction follows the Markovnikov's rule, meaning that the hydrogen atom from HCl will attach to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms, while the chlorine atom will attach to the carbon with fewer hydrogen atoms.

The image shows the possible outcomes of this reaction. The starting material is 3-methyl-1-butene, which is an alkene. 

#### Starting Material:
- **3-Methyl-1-butene:** \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH} = \text{CH}_2 \)

#### Reaction with HCl:
When 3-methyl-1-butene reacts with HCl, five potential products can be formed, which are:

1. **Compound A: Benzyl chloride**
   - Structure: A benzene ring attached to a CH2-Cl group. 
   
2. **Compound B: 3-Chloro-3-methyl-1-butene**
   - Structure: \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{C} = \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_2 - \text{Cl} \)
  
3. **Compound C: 1-Chloro-3-methyl-1-butene**
   - Structure: \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH} = \text{CH} - \text{Cl} \)
   
4. **Compound D: 2-Chloro-3-methyl-2-butene**
   - Structure: \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH} - \text{CH} = \text{C}_3 - \text{Cl} \)
   
5. **Compound E: 3-Chloro-3-methyl-2-butene**
   - Structure: \( \text{H}_3\text{C} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH} - \text{C} - \text{CH}_3 - \text{Cl
