Draw a structural formula for the more stable carbocation intermediate formed in the reaction shown. CH3 =CHCH2CHCH3 + HBr • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Do not include anionic counter-ions, e.g., I-, in your answer. • For cases in which carbocations of the same or similar stability are expected, draw all of the structures. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. • Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.

Step 1
The reaction is the addition of HBr to a double bond, which results in the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The double bond is between the second and third carbon atoms in the molecule CH3 CHCHZCHCH3. To determine the more stable carbocation Show more…
