What is the kinetic product obtained from the addition of 1 mole of bromine to 1,3-butadiene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kinetic product of the addition of bromine to 1,3-butadiene is 3,4-dibromo-1-butene. This occurs via a more rapid reaction pathway that leads to the formation of the product with the bromine atoms added across the less substituted, more reactive double bond (the terminal one in this case), following the principles of kinetic control.
