Rearrangements can occur in which of the following reactions? A)Addition of Cl₂ to an alkene. B)Addition of HOBr to an alkene. C)Addition of H₂O/H₃O⁺ to an alkene. D)None of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Addition of H₂O/H₃O⁺ to an alkene can lead to rearrangement reactions. This is because the reaction involves the formation of a cyclic intermediate which can undergo rearrangement before the final product is formed. The other reactions listed do not involve the formation of a cyclic intermediate and therefore do not typically undergo rearrangement reactions.
