Chapter 11, Problem 11.5P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

How the given compound can be synthesized from two different alkenes is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Bronsted acids add across a C - C double bond. The mechanism involves the electrophilic addition of the acid’s proton to the electron-rich π bond in step one. The proton adds to the less substituted carbon of the initial double bond so that the most substituted, and hence, the most stable carbocation forms. Step two is a coordination step in which the conjugate base forms a bond to the carbocation. The major product of an electrophilic addition of a Bronsted acid to an alkene is the one that proceeds through the more stable carbocation intermediate.
