Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
When sulfuric acid reacts with ethylene, the product formed has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction:
b)
Interpretation:
When sulfuric acid reacts with propene, the product formed has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction: Alkene reacts with polar reagent across the double bond, addition of hydrogen (electrophile) to the least substituted carbon and nucleophile bonded to the most substituted carbon.
Markovnikov’s rule:
In the overall reaction, the hydrogen atom (electrophile) is bonded to least substituted carbon and nucleophile is bonded to the most substituted carbon. This is known as Markovnikov’s rule.
