Question

how to differentiate between markownikoff rule and anti markovnikov rule

Answer 1

Hello Mate,


This is the exact opposite ofMarkovnikov rule. However, the anti-Markovnikov rule is not the exact reverse process of Markovnikovaddition as the mechanisms of these two reactions are entirely different.Markovnikov reaction is an ionic mechanism, whereas anti-Markovnikov reaction is a free-radical mechanism


Hope this helps you
