Draw a structural formula for the more stable carbocation intermediate formed in the reaction shown. CH3CH2 C=CHCH2 + HCl CH3CH2 H3C • 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.

Draw the structures of the two carbocation intermediates that might form during the reaction of the alkene (below) with HCl. Do not include counter-ions. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Select the reaction arrow from the dropdown menu, and draw the less stable carbocation in the left-hand sketcher. If two carbocations are energetically equivalent, separate the two structures with a + sign from the dropdown menu.
