Question

Consider the following reaction

$RCH=C{H}_2+I{N}_3^{⊝}\to A,$

$A$ is :

• A. $R\underset{\underset{I}{|}}{C}HC{H}_2{N}_3$
• B. $R\underset{\underset{N_3}{|}}{C}HC{H}_{2}I$
• C. Both are possible
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B $R\underset{\underset{N_3}{|}}{C}HC{H}_{2}I$

Iodine azide, $I{N}_3$, adds to alkenes by an electrophilic mechanism similar to that of bromine.
