Step 1
- The π bond of the alkene attacks the hydrogen (H) of HBr, breaking the H-Br bond. - This results in the formation of a carbocation intermediate at the more stable secondary carbon (CH₃-CH⁺-CH₃) and a bromide ion (Br⁻). Show more…

Each electrophilic addition reaction below involves a carbocation rearrangement. Predict the product and draw the complete arrow-pushing mechanism.
The two reactants shown below are combined to bring about a nucleophilic substitution reaction. CH3C≡CNa CH3CH2CH2Br f. HBr i. Br- g. CH2=CH2 j. Na+ h. CH3C≡C- k. CH3C≡CH l. none Which letter designates the electrophilic carbon at which substitution occurs? (If no reaction occurs enter the letter corresponding to "none.") Which letter corresponds to the leaving group? Which letter designates the nucleophile?
