The reaction of HCl with 2-ethyl-1-pentene or HCl with 3-methyl-2-hexene results in the identical major product of 3-chloro-3-methylhexane. Provide a mechanistic explanation showing the reaction of each alkene with HCl, including the intermediate and product. Provide a brief explanation of how the different alkene reactants could be transformed into the same product.
