What happens to halide radical in anti markonikov mechanism? |
|
Answer» Answer: Electrophilic addition OCCURS when an alkene is added with a HX, where X is a halide. So in a carbon CHAIN, preferably propene, the double bond will first induce a +ve CHARGE on to the hydrogen from HX. Hence X now has a -ve charge. So the double bond breaks and the hydrogen and X halide bond to the carbon chain. Markovnikov's rule helps here by explaining where the H+ and X- ION fix themselves and hence stating the major products of the reactions. During the formation of the intermediate, there is a carbocation. Depending on the stability of this carbocation, the position of the X- halide will vary. Hence resulting in either eg. 1-bromopropane or 2-bromopropane. Explanation: Hope this will help u MARK AS BRAINLY |
