Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reactants are an alkene and HI, which will undergo electrophilic addition. The product will be a halide added to each carbon of the double bond. In this case, we will get a 1,2-dihalide product (IV) because two iodines will be added to the two carbons. Choice A and B are not possible because they show only one halide addition. Choice C is incorrect because it shows a rearrangement of carbocation intermediate, which is not expected in this reaction.
