Concept explainers
Interpretation:The number of chiral centers present in the bromonium ion and isomeric carbocation intermediate formed during addition of bromine to
Concept introduction:Alkenes are considered electron-rich and undergo bromination addition reaction with
The mechanism of
In the second step, the strained bromonium ion intermediate opens while
Chiral carbon is any stereocenter attached to four different alkyl substituents. If any two of the substituent happen to be similar the center is regarded as achiral.
