Chapter 11, Problem 11.2P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Show how the given compound can be produced from an alkene.

Concept introduction:

The reaction in which a $\text{π}$ bond is broken and two new $\text{σ}$ bonds are formed is an electrophilic addition reaction. This reaction has a two-step mechanism. Step $\text{1}$ is an electrophilic addition step, in which a pair of electrons from the electron rich $\text{π}$ bond forms a bond to the acid’s electron-poor atom. Step $2$ is a coordination step, in which the conjugate base forms a bond to the carbocation.
