(a)
Interpretation:
The electrophilic reaction that gives rise to carbocation intermediate should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Addition Reaction: It is defined as
In addition reaction of
Electrophilic addition: It is an type of addition reaction in which the pi bond present in the molecule breaks as the electrophile approaches and results in the formation of product with sigma bond.
Regioselective reaction: They are reactions which contain more than one product which are actually molecules with same molecular formula but different in the way they are connected and among those products only one product is major.
Markovnikov’s Addition Rule: The unsymmetrical alkene in a chemical compound reacts with hydrogen halide in a way, where halide ions attacks and bond to the more substitution position of carbon-carbon double bond.
Electrophile: The positively charged species or with electron rich atom with vacant orbital that seeks for electrons hence it approaches the nucleophiles and results in the bonding.
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The electrophilic reaction that involves no intermediate should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.
