Answer

Step by step solution

01

Addition reaction

In these reactions, multiple reactants combine, resulting in the formation of a single product.

02

Attack of a nucleophile

In the addition reactions of HX and alkenes, the electron-rich double bond attacks the electrophilic hydrogen of the HX. The remaining nucleophilic ion attacks the carbocationic center formed from the cleavage of the C=C bond.

03

Mechanism of the given reactions

The mechanism of the given reaction is provided hereunder.

Mechanism

The transition states formed in step [1] and step [2] are given hereunder.
