Answer 1

Answer:

The structure of the major organic product isolated from the reaction of 1-hexyne with hydrogen chloride (2 mol) is attached below.

Explanation:

Hydracids are added to triple bonds by a mechanism similar to that of the addition to double bonds. The regioselectivity of the addition of H-X to the triple bond follows the rule of Markovnikov, where the Z conformation predominates in the addition of halide to the alkyne, because in the formation of the carbocation it prefers to place the positive charge on the more substituted carbon where the nucleophilic attack of the halide ion will occur.

With respect to the halogenation of the alkene, the same procedure occurs at the time of the formation of the carbocation, joining the nucleophilic ion to the most substituted carbon.
