What is Markovnikov's rule in electrophilic addition to unsymmetrical alkenes?

Flashcard de estudio del mazo NEET UG High-Yield Review (Biology, Physics, Chemistry).

Respuesta

The electrophilic hydrogen atom bonds to the double-bonded carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms, yielding the more stable carbocation intermediate.

Explicación

Stability of carbocations follows tertiary ($3^\circ$) > secondary ($2^\circ$) > primary ($1^\circ$) due to hyperconjugation and inductive electron donation.
