Question

What compounds could be formed in the addition reaction of Br2 and but-1-ene

Answer 1

When Br2 reacts with but-1-ene, an addition reaction occurs where a bromine atom adds to each carbon of the double bond. This results in the formation of 1,2-dibromobutane.

The chemical equation for this reaction is:

Br2 + CH2=CHCH2CH3 → CH2BrCH2CH2CH3-Br
