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 ^^

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 ^^
