Chapter 6.SE, Problem 14VC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The alkyl halide given is prepared by addition of HBr to two different alkenes. The structures of both alkenes are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

In electrophilic addition reactions the first step involves the attack of the π electrons of the double bond on the positively polarized hydrogen atom of the hydrogen halide to give a carbocation as the product with the elimination of a halide ion. In the second step the carbocation reacts with the halide ion to give the product.

To draw:

The structures of two alkenes which will yield the alkyl halide given as product in an addition reaction with HBr.
