Goc Theory Part 8 Ques6
Question: In the reaction $ CH_3-CH=CH_2 + HBr \rightarrow CH_3-CHBr-CH_3 $ , what role does hyperconjugation play?
Options:
A) It favors the formation of the more substituted carbocation intermediate
B) It decreases the reaction rate
C) It leads to the formation of the less stable product
D) It has no effect on the reaction
Show Answer
Answer: a
Explanation:
A) Correct. Hyperconjugation stabilizes the more substituted carbocation intermediate, favoring its formation.
B) Incorrect. Hyperconjugation generally increases reaction rates by stabilizing intermediates.
C) Incorrect. Hyperconjugation leads to the formation of the more stable product.
D) Incorrect. Hyperconjugation does have an effect on the reaction.
