Reaction of one molecule of with one molecule of -butadiene at gives predominantly:

  1. A
    -bromobutene under kinetically controlled conditions
  2. B
    -bromo- -butene under thermodynamically controlled conditions
  3. C
    -bromobutene under thermodynamically controlled conditions
  4. D
    -bromo- -butene under kinetically controlled conditions

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

At higher temperatures (), the reaction is thermodynamically controlled. -addition product ( -bromo- -butene) is more stable because it has a more substituted double bond.At lower temperatures (e.g., ), the -addition product is the kinetic product.
