a hydrohalogenation reaction is - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔anti-Markonikov
why is a hydrohalogenation reaction NOT stereospecific? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the carbocation is sp² and planar,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
so the nucleophile can attack from either side (racemic
