Question
In a reaction between CH₃CH₂CH=CH₂ and HBr, the Markovnikov's product is?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Markovnikov's rule states that the hydrogen adds to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogens. For but-1-ene (CH₃CH₂CH=CH₂), the H adds to terminal carbon, Br adds to internal carbon, giving 2-bromobutane (CH₃CH₂CHBrCH₃).
Hint
The hydrogen adds to the less substituted carbon of the double bond.
