limukbohil Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I don't know what reaction this is... 2-methyl-1-pentene + Br2 ---- CCl4 ---> 1,2-dibromo-2-methylpentane The book asked me what the major compound would be. I just want to know what type of reaction this is so i can figure out how they got that answer Thanks for the help ^^ (pressed enter accidentally so my title came out like that T.T)

limukbohil Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 I forgot to mention that the two bromides are in cis. (Sorry) Addition comes out as tran (pi bonds are anti) doesn't it? Thank you for fast reply ^^

Thank you for fast reply ^^ This is how I see it. Besides, there is no cis-trans isomery in pent-1-ene (excuse the drawing)
