Chapter 22, Problem 50QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the product formed by the addition of Cl₂ to 2-methyl-2-butene should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The alkene consists of carbon-carbon double bond that contains of a sigma and a pi bond. Alkenes are quite reactive that is they can be easily broken due to weak carbon-carbon pi bond. They generally undergo addition reaction, in which reagents are added across double bonds resulting in the formation of single bonds.
