Chapter 6, Problem 6.36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The mechanism for given reaction has to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where in a
Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Carbocation stability order:
The general carbocation stability order is as follows,
Nucleophile: donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of chemical bond.
Electrophile: accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged substrate results in chemical bond formation.
