Anti-Markovnikov addition is not observed in:
Anti-Markovnikov addition is not observed in:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C But-2-ene
As we know, in the presence of peroxide, addition of HBr to unsymmetrical alkenes like propene takes place contrary to the Markovnikov rule. In case of symetrical alkenes this rule is not applicable. But-2-ene is the symmetrical alkene among the given alkenes. Hence, anti-Markovnikov addition is not observed in But-2-ene CH3−CH=CH−CH3.
