Chapter 13.6, Problem 13.1MRP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of carbocation generated during the reaction of 2-methylpropene with $\text{HCl}$ has to be drawn

Concept Introduction:

Addition reaction: A general reaction type in which a substance X-Y adds to the multiple bond of an unsaturated reactant to yield a saturated product that has only single bonds.

Hydrohalogenation (Addition of hydrogen halide to alkenes): The addition of hydrogen halide to a multiple bond to give an alkyl halide product.

Markovnikov’s rule: In the addition of $\text{HX}$ to an alkene, the major product arises as the nucleophile attached to the more substituent carbon centre and hydrogen attached to the less substituent carbon centre.
