Draw a structural formula for the product of each alkene addition reaction.
Strategy
Use Markovnikov’s rule to predict the structural formula for the product of each reaction. The H from the HI and HCl will add to the carbon of the double bond that already has the greater number of H atoms bonded to it.
Solution
(a) Markovnikov’s rule predicts that the hydrogen of HI adds to carbon 1 and iodine adds to carbon 2 to give 2-iodo-2-methylpropane.
(b) H adds to carbon 2 of the ring and Cl adds to carbon 1 to give 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopentane.
