Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Major product should be found for the given alkene while adding bromine and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$.

Concept introduction:

• Addition of bromine molecule in presence of water gives the halohydrin formation.
• Addition of bromine and hydroxide group across the double bond of alkene is known as halohydrin formation.
• Generally, bromination reactions proceeds through a 3-membered cyclic bromonium intermediate then attack of water molecule at most substituted carbon position of the alkene.
