MCQ
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2+\mathrm{HBr}$ gives :
  • $ \mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br} $
  • B
    $ \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br} $
  • C
    $ \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br})-\mathrm{CH}_3 $
  • D
    $ \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3 $

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ \mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br} $
This is an example of addition reaction.
The double bond is broken and hydrogen and bromine are added to the given compound.
Bromine will add up on secondary carbon. $($Markovnikov's Rule$)\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2+\mathrm{HBr} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br})-\mathrm{CH}_3$.
