Yeah I'm pretty much stumped on this one...
Basically I'm supposed to explain the following:
When 2-butene reacts with hydrogen chloride gas, only one product is detected, whereas when 1-butene reacts similarly two products are usually found.
My best guess is the difference in position of the C=C bond between the 2-butene and 1-butene alkenes. But I have no idea how to explain it. If anyone wants to give me a hint or something that would be great.
Thanks
