Q. Anti-Markovnikov’s addition of HBr is not observed in

Hydrocarbons

Solution:

Anti-Markovnikov’s addtion of HBr is observed only with unsymmetrical alkenes, i.e., propene, 1-butene and pent-2-ene. Since 2-butene is symmetrical, therefore, antimarkovnikov’s addtion of HBr is not observed in this case.
