Answer 1

Isobutylene can be converted into tert-butyl bromide by its reaction with HBr.

• The reaction between isobutylene and HBr is an example of addition reaction.
• Firstly, the H⁺ gets added to the double bond in isobutylene forming the tert-butyl carbonium ion.
• Then, the carbonium ion form is attacked by the bromide ion to give tert-butyl bromide.
