Question

On the addition of HI

Answer 1

Answer:

$CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$

$I-CH_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$

Explanation:

Given the compound $CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$

The steps of reaction:

$HI \longrightarrow H^+ + I^-$

$CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + H^+ \longrightarrow CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$

But this intermediate product has a resonance:

$CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 \longleftrightarrow C^+H_2-CH2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$

The reaction with I-

$CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + I^- \longrightarrow CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$

$C^+H_2-CH2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + I^- \longrightarrow I-CH_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$
