Which of the following alkenes is the most reactive towards the addition of bromine ?
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The reactivity of alkenes towards the addition of bromine can be determined by the presence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups, as well as the stability of the intermediate carbocation formed during the addition reaction. This alkene has three methyl groups attached to the first and second carbon atoms of the propene chain. Like option C, the presence of alkyl groups enhances the stability of the intermediate carbocation, making it the most reactive alkene among the given options.
