    Which of the following compound does not show anti-Markownikoffs addition?

    A) Propene             

    B) 1-butene

    C) 2-butene      

    D)        2-pentene

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Anti Markownikoffs addition is shown when unsymmetrical reagent reacts with unsymmetrical double or triple bond containing compound. \[\underset{(a)}{\mathop{\underset{propene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-CH=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,}}\,\,\,\underset{(b)}{\mathop{\underset{butene-1}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CH=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,}}\,\] \[\underset{(c)}{\mathop{\underset{butene-2}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-CH=CH-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,\] \[\underset{pentene-2}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CH=CH-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\because \] Choice (c) butene-2 is symmetrical alkene \[\therefore \] It does not show Anti Markownikoff addition.
