Question

Draw the reaction mechanism the reaction between 2-methylpent-2-ene and chlorine. State the type of reaction. Label the electrophile, intermediate and final product.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃C(CH₃)=CH-CH₂-CH₃ ( 2 - methylpent-2-ene)

Cl₂ ⇒ Cl⁺ + Cl⁻

Cl⁺( electrophile)

CH₃C(CH₃)=CH-CH₂-CH₃  + Cl⁺ ( electrophile)  ⇒ CH₃C⁺(CH₃)-C(Cl)H-CH₂-CH₃ (  intermediate )

CH₃C⁺(CH₃)-C(Cl)H-CH₂-CH₃ + Cl⁻  ⇒ CH₃CCl(CH₃)-C(Cl)H-CH₂-CH₃ ( final product )

It is electrophilic addition reaction.
