Question

When 2-methyl-3-hexene is treated with Cl2 in methanol, three products are formed (neglecting stereoisomers). Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the reaction mechanism.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The structural formula of 2-methyl-3-hexene is drawn in the attached image below. After then, the three possible structures were drawn and the mechanism reaction.

From the mechanism shown, methanol deprotonates methoxide proton and neutralizes the positive charge to form methoxide. This is followed by the movement of electrons that takes place from the region of higher electron density to lower electron density.
