The addition of HBrHBr to 11-butene gives a mixture of products x,yx, y and zz

The addition of HBr to 1 -butene gives a mixture of products x, y and z The mixture consists of

The mixture consists of

Options

  1. Axx and yy as major and zz as minor products
  2. Byy as major, xx and zz as minor products
  3. Cyy as minor, xx and zz as major products
  4. Dxx and yy as minor and zz as major& products

Correct answer

A. xx and yy as major and zz as minor products

Step-by-step solution

The alkene is unsymmetrical, hence will follow Markownikoff's rule to give major product.

The addition of HBr to 1 -butene gives a mixture of products x, y and z The mixture consists of

since, yy contains, a chiral carbon, it exists in two enantiomers (xandandy) and whicharemirrorimagesofeachother.</p><p><imgsrc="/api/proxy−image?url=https) \text{ and } which are mirror images of each other.</p><p><img src="/api/proxy-image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffirebasestorage.googleapis.com%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fquantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app%2Fo%2Fquestions%252Ffigs%252Fpyq%252Fbitsat%252F1660552e-1626-4b50-9ed6-8dd960f85287-image.png%3Falt%3Dmedia \text{ and } clean=1 \text{ and } v=wm2" data-qx-orig-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fbitsat%2F1660552e-1626-4b50-9ed6-8dd960f85287-image.png?alt=media" data-qx-storage-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fbitsat%2F1660552e-1626-4b50-9ed6-8dd960f85287-image.png?alt=media" style="width: 341px; height: 195px;" /></p>
