Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the formation of the major 1, 2-addition and 1, 4-addition products are to be drawn for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
The electrophilic addition reaction in a case of conjugated diene system leads to the formation of a mixture of the isomeric products that are 1, 2-addition and 1, 4-addition products. The major products in 1, 2-addition and 1, 4-addition depend on the stability of the carbocation formed as the reaction intermediate. The most stable carbocation gives the major 1, 2-addition and 1, 4-addition products. The stability order for carbocation is Secondary benzylic > Tertiary > Primary benzylic, allylic > Secondary > Primary > Methyl etc. The 1, 2-addition occurs according to the Markovnikov rule, where the electrophile and a nucleophile get attached to C1 and C2 carbon atoms of an
