    Addition of HBr on propene produce :

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{2}}BrC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Br \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Addition of unsymmetrical reagent across unsymmetrical double bond follows Markownikoff rule. According to this rule, the negative part of reagent adds to carbon atom having lesser number of hydrogen atoms. \[\underset{propene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-CH=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,+HBr\xrightarrow{{}}\]                  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Br  \\  2-bromopropane \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{3}}\] 1-bromopropane is obtained when same reaction takes place in presence of peroxide.
