Markovnikov’s rule: Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. They are triggered by the acid acting as an electrophile toward the π-electrons of the double bond. Markovnikov’s rule states that when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon that has a greater number of hydrogens, e.g., Which given substrate is the most reactive toward Markovnikov’s addition?
