Ionic addition of bromine to cis−2−butene yields.
Assertion : Addition of bromine to trans-2-butene yields meso-2, 3-dibromobutane
Reason : Bromine addition to an alkene is an electrophilic addition.
It is given that when (±)-2,3-dibromobutane reacts with KOH, some of the products formed are:
Explain via mechanism and then choose the correct ones from the following.
Monosubstitution of (2S,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane using OH− yields a mixture of products.
Monosubstitution of (2S,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane using OH− yields a single major product.
Monosubstitution of (2R,3R)-2,3-dibromobutane using OH− yields a mixture of products.
During debromination of meso-2,3-dibromobutane,the major compound formed is
