Reaction of one molecule of with one molecule of -butadiene at gives predominantly:
- A-bromobutene under kinetically controlled conditions
- B-bromo- -butene under thermodynamically controlled conditions
- C-bromobutene under thermodynamically controlled conditions
- 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.
