Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The explanation corresponding to the given conversion.
Interpretation: The explanation corresponding to the given conversion is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The general steps for the formation of halohydrin are stated below:
- The first step is the attack of halide ion to form a halonium ion.
- The second step is the attack of water to open the halonium ion.
- The last step is deprotonation to give the halohydrin product.
