Determine the product of the reaction of the following compound with bromine if the formula of the product is C8H15BrO. Propose a mechanism for the formation of the product.
Show how to accomplish the following synthetic transformation.2-methylbut-2-ene → 3-chloro-2-methylbutan-2-olHint: The electrophilic nature of a halonium ion drives its opening. Carbon bearing more positive charge will be attacked by the weak nucleophile.
Show how to synthesize the compound shown below from a cyclic alkene.
