Interpretation:
The possible products resulting from the addition of one equivalent of HCl to 1-phenyl-1,3-butadiene are to be given. Which product predominates is to be stated and the reason for the same also is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Conjugated dienes undergo electrophilic addition reactions through the formation of an allyl carbocation. The allyl cation is resonance stabilized and the attack of bromide ion on each of these forms leads to the formation of a mixture of 1,2- and 1,4-addition products. The more stable allylcation produced will yield the major product.
To give:
The possible products resulting from the addition of one equivalent of HCl to 1-phenyl-1,3-butadiene.
To state:
Which product predominates and to give the reason for the same.

- H3C N- H₂NNH₂ H⭑ CH3 H3C IN CH3 Hydrazine reacts with 2,4-pentanedione to yield 3,5-dimethylpyrazole. Including protonations and deprotonations, the reaction takes 12 steps. Write out the mechanism on a sheet of paper and then draw the structure of the product of step 6. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. •You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. • In an elimination step, include the structure of the leaving group, but draw it in its own sketcher. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. ?
