(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for formation of the alcohol product should be drawn.

Concept introduction: Alkenes are regarded electron-rich and often undergo addition reaction in presence of electrophilic halo acids or nucleophilic sodium cyanide. The intermediate formed in former is tertiary carbocation and finally nucleophilic part of halo acid attacks in a rapid step to give addition product.

The product formed is governed by Markovnikov’s Rule. Rule suggests that negative part of halo acid HX must go to the carbon that has more alkyl substituents or less H atoms. This is also justified as intermediate tertiary carbocation involved in this pathway is highly stable intermediate.

The order of relative stability of various possible carbocation species is as follows:

Please answer the question and provide a detailed drawing of the structure. If there will not be a new C – C bond, then the box under the drawing area will be checked.  Will the following reaction make a molecule with a new C – C bond as its major product:  Draw the major organic product or products, if the reaction will work. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
