Question

Consider the following electrophilic addition reaction:

The correct statement is (are):

• A. The reaction involves both primary and tertiary carbocation that lead to formation of major product
• B. The reaction involves both secondary and tertiary carbocation that lead to formation of major product
• C. Formation of major product involve a methylshift
• D. The major product is a racemic mixture

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The reaction involves both secondary and tertiary carbocation that lead to formation of major product
The major product is a racemic mixture

The reaction involves both secondary and tertiary carbocation that lead to the formation of major product

The major product is a racemic mixture

Hence option $A$ and $D$ are correct.
