Question

2,4-Dimethylpent-2-ene undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction in the presence of HBr to form 2-bromo-2,4-dimethylpentane. Complete the mechanism of this addition and draw the intermediates formed as the reaction proceeds.

Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created.

Answer 1

the answer is in the diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

when 2,4-dimethylpent-2-ene undergo electrophilic addition reaction in the presence of HBr to form 2-bromo-2,4-dimethylpentane, it firstly lead to an intermediate carbocation

A carbocation can be describe as an organic molecule, which serves as an intermediate, that has a carbon atom bearing a positive charge and three bonds instead of four
