Question

For the given reaction , the major product A will be :

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Addition of HOX :
$-OH$ gets attached to the more substituted $C$ of the alkene and $-Cl$ gets attached to the less substituted $C$. The product so formed is in accordance with Markovnikov’s Rule
For the given compound :


Carbon 3 is more substituted as compared to carbon 2 . SO, $-OH$ group attaches to more substituted carbon i.e. carbon 3 , and $-Cl$ to less substituted carbon i.e. carbon 2
The correct compound is (d)
