Major product of the following reaction is:
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
During an electrophilic addition reactions double bonds donate lone pair electrons to an electrophile. Markovnikov's Rule: The addition of a proton acid to the double bond of an alkene results in a product with the acid hydrogen bound to the carbon atom that already has the greater number of hydrogen attached. In the given reaction electrophile D + adds to the double bond, a carbocation is formed. Then Cl - is added at the electron deficient carbocation.
