CHAPTER 8 241 8.5. (a) In this case, Markovnikov addition of HBr involves the formation of a new chiral center. As such, we expect both possible stereochemical outcomes. That is, we expect a pair of enantiomers, as shown: (b) In this case, Markovnikov addition of HCl does not involve the formation of a new chiral center (the carbon of the resulting alkyl halide bears two propyl groups): HCl Cl (c) In this case, Markovnikov addition of HBr involves the formation of a new chiral center. As such, we expect both possible stereochemical outcomes. That is, we expect a pair of enantiomers, as shown: (d) In this case, Markovnikov addition of HI involves the formation of a new chiral center. As such, we expect both possible stereochemical outcomes. That is, we expect a pair of enantiomers, as shown: (e) In this case, Markovnikov addition of HCl does not involve the formation of a new chiral center (the carbon of the resulting alkyl halide bears two methyl groups): (f) In this case, addition of HCl involves the formation of a new chiral center. As such, we expect both possible stereochemical outcomes. That is, we expect a pair of enantiomers, as shown: 8.6. (a) Protonation of the alkene requires two curved arrows, as shown, and leads to the more stable, secondary carbocation (rather than a primary carbocation). This secondary carbocation then undergoes a hydride shift, shown with one curved arrow, generating a more stable, tertiary carbocation. In the final step (nucleophilic attack), the carbocation is captured by a bromide ion. This step requires one curved arrow, going from the nucleophile (bromide) to the electrophile (the carbocation), as shown: (b) Protonation of the alkene requires two curved arrows, as shown, and leads to the more stable, secondary carbocation (rather than a primary carbocation). This secondary carbocation then undergoes a hydride shift, shown with one curved arrow, generating a more stable, tertiary carbocation.
