In which addition reaction Markownikov's rule is not obeyed:
Correct answer: D. CH3CH=CHCH3 + HBr→
- A. CH3CH=CH2 + HCl →
- B. CH3CH2CH=CH2+ HI→
- C. CH3CH=CH2 + HBr→
- D. CH3CH=CHCH3 + HBr→
Explanation
Markownikov's rule is generally followed in addition reactions, where the hydrogen atom attaches to the carbon with more hydrogen atoms. Option D is correct because in the presence of peroxides, HBr addition to unsymmetrical alkenes like CH3CH=CHCH3 does not follow Markownikov's rule due to the radical mechanism. The other options are incorrect because they either follow Markownikov's rule or require specific conditions to deviate from it.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
