The numbering done in the priority order, in which the substituents gets the lowest possible number. The parent name is 2-heptene. Include the substituents in the IUPAC name with the lowest possible number. The methyl group is located at both second and fifth carbon.
Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound is 2,5-Dimethyl-2-heptene.
Hydrohalogenation reaction:
In the given above reaction, the addition of HBr across the double bond gives rise to the formation of carbocation, the tertiary carbocation is highly stable than the secondary carbocation and the nucleophilic attack of bromide ion at the carbocation centre leads to the product formation. In the product, the hydrogen attached at the less substituted carbon centre and thus the reaction follows Markonivok’ rule. The product obtained is MAJOR due to the high stability of carbocation formation.
Hydration reaction:
The addition of water molecule across the double bond requires small amount of acid to catalyse the reaction. In the given above reaction, the addition of acidic proton across the double bond gives rise to the formation of carbocation, the tertiary carbocation is highly stable and the nucleophilic attack of water molecule at the carbocation centre leads to the product formation followed by deprotonation. In the product, the hydrogen attached at the less substituted carbon centre and the reaction follows Markonivok’ rule. The product obtained is MAJOR due to the high stability of carbocation formation.
Acid-catalysed reaction:
The reaction of alkene with acid (as catalyst) indicates no other reagent is present. The protonation of alkene forms the tertiary carbocation intermediate. The deprotonation that occur in the intermediate leads to the di-substituted alkene. The reaction is an alkene isomerization.

Answer to Problem 13.24UKC
The IUPAC name of the compound is 2,5-Dimethyl-2-heptene.
The products obtained respectively are,
Explanation of Solution
In the given compound, the parent chain has five carbons with the double bond between C-1 and C-2. The numbering done in the priority order, in which the substituents gets the lowest possible number. The parent name is 1-cyclopentene. Include the substituents in the IUPAC name with the lowest possible number. Two methyl groups are located at third carbon.
Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound is 3,3-Dimethyl-1-cyclopentene.
Hydrohalogenation reaction:
In the given above reaction, the addition of HBr across the double bond gives rise to the formation of carbocation, the secondary carbocation; the methyl shift occurred which leads to stable tertiary carbocation and the nucleophilic attack of bromide ion at the carbocation centre leads to the product formation. In the product, the hydrogen attached at the less substituted carbon centre and thus the reaction follows Markonivok’ rule. The product obtained is MAJOR due to the high stability of carbocation formation.
