The major product(P) in the following reaction is
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In this reaction, an alkene side chain attached to the benzene ring reacts with excess con centrated HBr.
The mechanism involves the following steps:
Step 1. The double bond in the alkene reacts with HBr to form a carbocation intermediate.
Step 2. Due to excess HBr, the benzyl carbo cation rearranges to a more stable form.
Step 3. The addition of Br takes place, resulting in the formation of the major product, which is the bromo-substituted alkane on the benzene ring.
Thus, the major product is:
