Which one of the following alkenes when treated with H C l yields majorly an anti Markovnikov product?
Options
- AC H 3 O - C H = C H 2
- BC l - C H = C H 2
- CH 2 N - C H = C H 2
- DF 3 C - C H = C H 2
Correct answer
D. F 3 C - C H = C H 2
Step-by-step solution
Markovnikov’s product is formed when a stable carbocation is formed on the more substituted carbon. In C F 3 - C H = C H 2 , the carbocation formed will be destabilized by strong - I group of C F 3 . Hence, the Anti-Markovnikov’s product will be formed.
