Rate of addition of Halogen acid(HX) is least in


(a)CH2=CHCl


(b)CH2=CH2


(c)CH3-CH=CH2


(d)(CH3)2C=CH2


 


Please explain  with reason.

The answer is a)

looking at the question option c) and d) can be clearly ruled out.


now we are left with a) and b)


in option b) the Carbocation is not stabilized by any means...


but in a) the carbocation is stabilized by resonance of Cl, but not to forget the inductive effect of Cl, which is much more dominating/instability providing than the stability provided by resonance.


so the story is clear.


option a) carbocation but electron withdrawing effect(on the whole)


b) carbocation, with no effect on it...


so the answer is clearly a)


hope its clear now :)

because the carbocation formed will be stabilized by hyperconjugation and inductive effect of the 2 Me groups

IT should be "b". The -I effect of Cl in a) disperses the negative charge on the carbanion.


@svj29: Why have you assumed that the carbocation is formed on the carbon attached the Cl?


What is the source of the problem?

@conjurer

a carbocation intermediate is formed and not a carbanion..

1st H+ will attack, and the reaction will proceed according to Markonikoff Addn.

and more stable the intermediate, more is the speed of the reaction.

rate of addition is the greatest in A n least in D.


apply the elctrophillic addition mechanism that r followed by the alkenes

It shud b D--- bcoz it has only 2 alpha H atoms... intermediate is least stable... all others hav 3 or 4 alpha H atoms...

Whats going on...???

i'm explainin the whole thing agian

The answer is a)

looking at the question option c) and d) can be clearly ruled out.

WHAT HAPPENS: H-X bond dissaciates and H+ attacks.

Markowonikoff addition occurs and carbocation intermediate is formed

the carbocation formed will be stabilized by hyperconjugation and inductive effect of the Me group/s in c) and d)


now we are left with a) and b)



in option b) the Carbocation is not stabilized by any means...



but in a) the carbocation is stabilized by resonance of Cl, but not to forget the inductive effect of Cl, which is much more dominating/instability providing than the stability provided by resonance.



so the story is clear.



option a) carbocation but electron withdrawing effect(on the whole)



b) carbocation, with no effect on it...


AND MORE STABLE THE REACTION INTERMEDIATE, MORE IS THE RATE OF REACTION.


so the answer is clearly a)



hope its clear now :)
