What are three reactions of the alkene, isobutylene? It can be a reactant or a product. Please show the mechanism by using arrows for electron movment and label the name of the reaction.
I have shown 3 reactions of isobutylene as a reactant, in the pictures attached please have a look....
The first reaction is the polymerisation reaction of isobutylene which yields polyisobutylene also called as vinyl rubber.
The second reaction is action of strong acid HCl on isobutylene which forms 1 chloro 2, 2 dimethyl ethane
The third reaction shows acid catalysed hydration of isobutylene that yields tertiary butyl alcohol as the major product.
