Question
State Markovnikov’s rule and explain it with the help of an example.
✓
Answer
i. Markovnikov’s rule: When an unsymmetrical reagent is added to an unsymmetrical alkene, the negative part (X-) of the reagent gets attached to the carbon atom which carries less number of hydrogen atoms.
ii. For example, addition of HBr to unsymmetrical alkenes yield two isomeric products.
iii. Experimentally it has been found that 2-Bromopropane is the major product.
