How do we solve such questions...??! The answer to this question is (a)... why not (b)..??!
Q.
X may be :
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Dear Student,
The reaction is addition reaction. When Br2 in CCl4 is reacted with alkene, Br gets attached to both sides of the double bond and both the Br are anti to each other i.e. anti addition occurs. So, both the Br must be opposite in stereochemistry.
Therefore, the answer is (A)
(B) cannot be the answer as in (B) three Br are getting attached which is not possible.
