In this problem, we're given a starting material that looks like this, and this is going to react with diatomic bromine in the presence of dichloromethane.
00:13
So this is just our solvent.
00:16
Now, this double bond is where we're going to be adding across.
00:19
So we have an addition reaction, and we're going to go from double bonds between carbons to a single bond, and now in opposite directions, we'll add bromines.
00:31
And here, we don't have to worry about whether this is a markhanakov edition or not, because both of these carbons will end up with one bromine.
00:40
So we don't need to worry about priorities here.
00:43
So when we draw our structure now, most of it is going to look the same...
