Q
Q: Which of the following is the correct mechanism for the addition of HBr to propene?
Solution:
The addition of HBr to propene occurs via an electrophilic addition mechanism.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the reactants. We have propene (a type of alkene) and HBr (hydrobromic acid).
Step 2: Understand that propene has a double bond between two carbon atoms.
Step 3: Recognize that HBr can donate a proton (H+) and a bromide ion (Br-).
Step 4: The double bond in propene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton (H+) from HBr.
Step 5: This attack forms a carbocation (a positively charged carbon) on the more stable carbon atom.
Step 6: The bromide ion (Br-) then attacks the carbocation, forming the final product.
Step 7: The final product is an alkyl bromide, where the bromine is added to the carbon that was not bonded to the hydrogen.
