Chapter 7, Problem 7.30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Products for the given electrophilic addition are to be drawn and the more stable is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In the electrophilic addition reaction, the substrate containing a non-polar π bond (as part of a double or triple bond) approaches a strongly electron-deficient species (an electrophile) and a bond forms between an atom of the π bond and the electrophile. The other carbon of the π bond gets a positive charge as the π bond pair moves away from it. The product is a carbocation which is highly unstable because it bears a positive charge and has an incomplete octet. A carbocation can be stabilized by resonance.

Explain Please, Thank You: There are two possible products in the electrophillic addition step shown here. Draw both possible products and predict which one is more stable.
Help please. Draw the curved arrow notation and products for the each elementary step described by the sequence shown here.Note that the products of each step should be used as the reactants in the next step, and you may need to draw in additional reagents as directed. Remember to click on each box to see step-specific instructions. Draw H3CH2C–, and then add the curved arrow notation showing a nucleophilic addition.
Consider the reaction between 2-methyl-2-butanol and HBr, shown below. но HBr Br
