Question

Statement-1 : Trans-2-butene on reaction with Br₂ gives
meso-2, 3-dibromobutane.
Statement-2 : The reaction involves syn-addition of bromine.

Answer 1

Answer:

Both Statements are true but Statement 2 is not correct explanation of Statement 1

Answer 2

The assertion is true but reason is false.

Explanation:

• The trans 2 butene is an straight chain alkene with two methyl group being attached with the double bonded carbon on the other sides.

• The trans 2 butene reacts with bromine to produce the 2,3 dibromobutane.

• This process follows the free radicle addition of the bromine to the double bond of butene.

• But the free radicle addition gives rise to trans bromobutane.

• Its not a syn addition.

• So the assertion is true but reason is false.
