3-Phenylpropene on reaction with HBr gives (as a major product)
Options
- AC ₆ H ₅ CH ₂ CH ( Br ) CH ₃
- BC ₆ H ₅ CH ( Br ) CH ₂ CH ₃
- CC ₆ H ₅ CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ Br
- DC ₆ H ₅ CH ( Br ) CH = CH ₂ .
Correct answer
B. C ₆ H ₅ CH ( Br ) CH ₂ CH ₃
Step-by-step solution
According to Markownikoff's rule, the negative part of the unsymmetrical reagent adds to less hydrogenated (more substituted) carbon atom of the double bond.
