That's correct. Once Aluminum becomes an ion, it is very hard to force it to take back its electrons. Only a few elements can do it. Iron is not one of them.

Electrophilic addition of hbr to 3-methyl-2-hexene creates an asymmetric center at c-2. what is the product of this reaction?

AleksandrR [38]

This reaction would give rise to two products.

2-bromo-3-methylhexane, and
3-bromo-3-methylhexane.

However, 2-bromo-3-methylhexane would be more common than 3-bromo-3-methylhexane among the products.

The hydrogen atom in a hydrogen bromide molecule carries a partial positive charge. It is attracted to the double bond region with a high electron density. The hydrogen-bromine bond breaks when HBr gets too close to a double bond to produces a proton $\text{H}^{+}$ and a bromide ion $\text{Br}^{-}$ .

The proton would attack the double bond to produce a carbocation. It could attach itself to either the second or the third carbon atom.

$\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}-\;}+\\\text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3\\\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\;\;}|\phantom{\text{CH}-}\;}|\\\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\;} \text{H}\phantom{\text{CH}}\;\;}\text{CH}_3$
$\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}-}\;\;\text{H}\\\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\;}+\phantom{\text{H}-\;}|\\\text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_3\\\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\;\;\;}\phantom{\text{CH}-}\;}|\\\phantom{\text{H}_3\text{C}-\;} \phantom{\text{H}}\phantom{\text{CH}}\;\;}\text{CH}_3$

Carbocations are unstable and might decompose over time. The first carbocation is more stable than the second for having three alkyl groups- i.e., straight carbon chains- attached to the center of the positive charge. Alkyl groups have stabilizing positive induction effect on positively-charged carbon. The second carbocation has only two, and is therefore not as stable. The first carbocation thus has the greatest chance to react with a bromide ion to produce a stable halocarbon.

Bromide ions are negatively charged. They attach themselves to carbocations at the center of positive charge. Adding a bromide ion to the first carbocation would produce 3-bromo-3-methylhexane whereas adding to the second produces 2-bromo-3-methylhexane.

The <em>most likely</em> product of this reaction is therefore 3-bromo-3-methylhexane.
