Question

What is the major product of the following reaction

$H_2C = CH -CH_2 - OH \xrightarrow[\text{excess}]{HBr}$ Product

• A. $CH_2 - \overset{\underset{|}{B}r}{C}H - CH_2 -Br$
• B. $H_2C = CH - CH_2 -Br$
• C. $CH_3 - \overset{\underset{|}{B}r}{C}H -CH_2-OH$
• D. $CH_3-\overset{\underset{|}{O}H}{CH}-CH_2-OH$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$CH_2=CH -CH_2 -OH \xrightarrow[\text{excess}]{HBr} CH_3- \underset{\overset{|}{B}r}{CH}-CH_2-Br$
