Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of ethylene $(CH_2=CH_2)$ with $Br_2$ in the presence of water or aqueous $NaCl$ involves the formation of a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate. In the presence of $NaCl$ (aqueous),the nucleophile can be either $Br^-$ or $Cl^-$. $1$. If $Br^-$ attacks the bromonium ion,the product is $CH_2Br-CH_2Br$ ($1$,$2$-dibromoethane). $2$. If $Cl^-$ attacks the bromonium ion,the product is $CH_2Br-CH_2Cl$ ($1$-bromo$-2-$chloroethane). Since both nucleophiles are present in the reaction medium,both products are formed.

What product is formed when $Br_2$ is added to ethylene in the presence of aqueous $NaCl$?
