A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/12/M/J/22
Question 30 from 9701/12/M/J/22

Explanation

Alkene structure not provided for HBr addition analysis

Steps:

  • Identify the alkene's double bond position and substituents to apply Markovnikov's rule.
  • Determine the carbocation intermediate formed after H+ addition.
  • Predict Br- attack site, considering rearrangements if applicable.
  • With excess HBr, assess if second addition occurs (unlikely for simple alkene).

Why B is correct:

  • Cannot confirm without alkene structure.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Positions mismatch unknown regiochemistry.
  • C: Positions mismatch unknown regiochemistry.
  • D: Positions mismatch unknown regiochemistry.

Not enough information.

Final answer: Not enough information.
