Chapter 11, Problem 11.1YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electrophilic addition reaction between $\left(\text{E}\right)\text{-But-2-ene}$ and $\text{HBr}$ is to be described.

Concept introduction:

Electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction in which the double bond attacks an electrophile and the new addition of one or more groups across multiple bonds. In this reaction, $\text{C=C}$ double bond breaks and a new single bond forms. In electrophilic addition reaction of alkene, the electrophile HBr is attached across $\text{C=C}$ double bonds. The addition of hydrogen halide to alkene produces alkyl halide as a product.
