Chapter 7, Problem 7.30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Products for the given electrophilic addition are to be drawn and the more stable is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In the electrophilic addition reaction, the substrate containing a non-polar π bond (as part of a double or triple bond) approaches a strongly electron-deficient species (an electrophile) and a bond forms between an atom of the π bond and the electrophile. The other carbon of the π bond gets a positive charge as the π bond pair moves away from it. The product is a carbocation which is highly unstable because it bears a positive charge and has an incomplete octet. A carbocation can be stabilized by resonance.
