Predict the product expected to be obtained when HCl is added to isobutylene. Explain the mechanism.

Answer»

Solution :ISOBUTYLENE `(Me_(2)C = CH_(2))` undergoes addition with HCl according to the Markownikoff's rule and teri-butyl chloride is obtained as the only product. The other product (1-chloro-2-methylpropane) is not obtained because it is EXPECTED to be obtained through the formation of a very UNSTABLE `1^(@)` carbocation.
