Question

Transcribed Image Text:The reaction of a certain alcohol with HBr yields a mixture of alkyl bromides. Consider the structures of the major and minor products and draw the structure of the starting alcohol.
**Diagram Description:**
1. **Reaction Scheme:**
- The starting alcohol reacts with HBr.
- Two products are formed:
- The major product, shown with a bromine (Br) atom attached to a secondary carbon in the molecule.
- The minor product, shown with a bromine (Br) atom attached to a primary carbon in the molecule.
2. **Product Structures:**
- **Major Product:** The structure on the left has the bromine atom attached to a more substituted tertiary carbon.
- **Minor Product:** The structure on the right has the bromine atom attached to a less substituted primary carbon.
**Drawing Section:**
- Below the reaction, there is a drawing interface labeled "Draw the starting alcohol."
**Tools Provided:**
- Options to select, draw, use pre-defined rings, and access more drawing tools.
- Element buttons for carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
- A blank canvas to draw on with undo and redo buttons.
- Additional viewer tools: zoom in, zoom out, and reset view.
