Q. 75 Predict the major product formed when HCl is added to isobutylene,

Explain the mechanism involved.


Reaction between the isobutylene added to HCl


                                                                                       
H3C=CH2 +  CHl  ruleMarkownikoff's                  Cl
              |
H3CCCH3
              |
            CH3
2-chloro-2-methlpropane

Electrophilic addition reaction takes place in accorciance with Markownikatt’s rule,

We know that 3° carbocation is more stable than 1° carbocation because in further step

° carbocation is further attacked by CI ion.
