Solution

The explanation for the correct option:

Option(1) 1-Bromobutane

Addition of HBr to 2-methyl-1-propene

The addition of Addition of HBr to 2-methyl-1-propene in the presence to hydrogen peroxide produces 1-Bromobutane

The reaction is given as:

CH3(CH3)C=CH2HBr,H2O2−−−−−−−CH3(CH3)CHCH2Br

The reaction follows anti-markonikoff's addition.

The Anti-Markovnikov rule defines regiochemistry in which the substituent is attached to a less substituted carbon instead of the more substituted carbon.

This is because substituted carbocation allows for more hyperconjugation and indution, resulting in a more stable carbocation.

The reaction proceed as:

H2O2hv2O.H

HBr+O.HH2O+Br.

CH3(CH3)C=CH2Br.CH3(CH3)C.CH2BrH..CH3(CH3)CHCH2Br

Hence, Option(1) 1-Bromobutane is the product obtained on the Addition of HBr to 2-methyl-1-propene in the presence to hydrogen peroxide.
