Explanation:
An electrophilic addition reaction occurs when an electrophile attacks a substrate, with the end result being the inclusion of one or many comparatively straightforward molecules along with multiple bonds.
In the given question, the hydrogen bromide provides the electrophile while the bromide is the nucleophile. The mechanism proceeds with the attack of the electrophile on the carbon, followed by deprotonation. This process is continued with a formation of carbocation and the bromide(nucleophile) finally bonds to the carbocation to form a stable product.
The first diagram showcases the possible various starting molecules for the synthesis while the second diagram illustrates their mechanism.
The given compound is being synthesized by condensing Acetone and Pivaldehyde (Trimethylacetaldehyde).
First Acetone is treated with Base, the base abstracts the mildly acidic proton present at alpha position to carbonyl group. The resulting specie called enolate act as a nucleophile and attacks on highly reactive aldehyde which upon dehydration yields the Aldol Product. The Reaction is as follow,
