Question 1 1 pts Which of the following is the best explanation for the specific stereochemical result of the reaction shown below? 2 When bromine reacts with an alkene, it first forms a cyclic intermediate on one face of the alkene, allowing attack only from the face opposite the cyclic intermediate. When bromine reacts with an alkene, it first forms a cyclic intermediate on one face of the alkene, allowing attack only from the face on which the cyclic intermediate formed. When bromine attacks an alkene, it first forms a carbocation intermediate, which can then be attacked from both top and bottom faces, resulting in a mixture of stereoisomeric products. When bromine reacts with an alkene, it adds in a concerted fashion such that both Br atoms bond to the alkene carbons on the same face, resulting in an overall syn addition

Explanation / Answer

option 1 is correct

when bromine reacts with an alkene, it first forms a cyclic intermediate on one face of the alkene, allowing attack only from the face opposite the cyclic intermediate.

Explanation: Addition of Br2 to alkene is an anti addition and produces trans-dibromo compound as product.
