The Markownikoff's rule is the best applicable to the reaction between :

A

`C_(2)H_(4)+HCl`

B

`C_(3)H_(6)+Br_(2)`

C

`C_(3)H_(6)+HBr`

D

`C_(3)H_(8)+Cl_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to Markownikoff.s rule, the addition of a unsymmetrical reagent (HX) to an unsymmetric alkene takes place in such a way that the negative part of the reagent will be attached to the carbon atom which containing lesser number of H-atom. Hence, it is best applicable to the reaction between `C_(3)H_(6)` and HBr.
`" "CH_(3)CH=CH_(2)+HBr rarr CH_(3)-underset(underset(Br)(|))(CH)-CH_(3)`

Explain Markownikoff's rule for the addition reaction using a suitable example.

From the following, select the one in which Markownikoff's rule is best applicable

Acid catalysed hydration of alkene gives alcohol. In this reaction addition of water takes place according to Markownikoff's rule. Since intermediate carbocation is formed in this reaction, rearrangement of carbocation takes place. In oxymercuration-demercuration reaction hydration of alkene takes place according to Markownikoff's rule. Oxymercuration demercuration is a better process than the catalytic hydration of alkene because in oxymercuration-demercuration, no rearrangement is possible. In hydroboration oxidation, hydration of alkene takes place as if it is according to anti-Markownikoff's addition. In hydroboration oxidation reaction rearrangement is not possible. Both in oxymercuration-demercuration and hydroboration oxidation intermediate carbocation are not formed. The product formed in the following reaction is
