Question

Kharasch effect can be studied in case of
a) oct-4-ene
b) hex-3-ene
c) pent-1-ene
d) but-2-ene

Answer 1

Kharash effect can be studied in Hex-3-ene

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
c) Pent-1-ene

● Kharasch effect -
- When HBr is added to unsymmetrical alkene in presence of peroxide, H-atom bonds with C-atom having least no of hydrogen atoms on it.
- This reaction is shown by only unsymmetrical alkenes.
- aka Anti-Markovnikov's rule

- As pent-1-ene is unsymmetrical alkene, it demonstrates Kharasch effect forming 1-bromopent-1-ene.
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2 + HBr ---> CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-Br

Hope this helps you...
