The major products obtained in the following reaction is/are
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
The major product ( s) obtained in the given reaction are The mechanism for the above given reaction is as follows. When the -electrons of the alkene approach a molecule of Br ₂ , one of the bromine atom accepts them and releases the shared electrons to the other bromine atom. A cyclic bromonium ion is formed. In next step Br ⁻ attacks a carbon atom of the bromonium ion. This release the strain in the three membered ring and form a vicinal dibromide.
