The reactants, intermediates, final products, and all curved arrows showing bonds forming andbreaking are collectively referred to as the mechanism of a reaction. For the following reactants:
a. Explain why the original statement of Markovnikov’s rule does not help in this case, but themodern restatement of Markovnikov’s rule tells you which carbon will get the X (Cl).
b. Show the mechanism of the most likely addition reaction between the reactants.
